Go! Go!”, social media, comparison, and unrealistic imagery does to people’s mental and physical health – His guilt about having lectured people about weight-loss and dieting – How rules set us up for obsession, especially around food, weight and exercise – How he found out the hard way that diets and restriction never work long term – How much pressure he built up around his own “quest for the better body”
