"That’s why I say I have no problem with people dieting for health reasons (ie stepping up the veggies, eating more nutritious food, etc) but have a problem with people dieting for weight loss."

Woah. Dude. That just came up along side me and bonked me in the head. The words "diet" and "dieting" are superduperOMFG loaded. They're powerful! They're bad! They're good! They're necessary! They're... simply a term that refers to an ordered method of eating. If you let it be.

Dieting. D-i-e-t-i-n-g. By planning the meals that I choose to eat, and taking in mind both my body's needs for fuel and my mind's needs for satisfaction and my large intestine's needs for a little peace and happiness I'm technically doing this... d-word thing.

Although I can't really call it that because dieting has such baggage, so I call it "mindful eating" or "HAES" or something of the sort. Huh.
