Fat Language

​Patients speak a language I don’t understand. They would have an easier time losing weight if they used moderate, adult language. For instance, fat people never say, “I am hungry.” They usually say, “I am starving.” Why say such a thing? In point of fact they aren’t starving. But see,if you believe you are starving, well then you must eat right now and you can eat a lot. 

Instead of saying “I’d like that”, they say I crave it. I must have it, have to have it. But adults don’t crave things unless they are drug addicts. Children crave things. Children have to have it. Fat speech is childish speech. Adults can delay gratification, show restraint, divert focus. All it takes is a little practice.
