Quotes by Ann Gadd (?)

“This is why people may lose weight on a diet, but if the underlying emotional cause of the weight gain remains, they are destined to gain back the weight, just as taking a tranquilizer may reduce anxiety in a person at that moment but will not take away the reason they were anxious long term.”
― Ann Gadd, The Enneagram of Eating: How the 9 Personality Types Influence Your Food, Diet, and Exercise Choices
