Quote: I've often wondered if the fat isn't a way to avoid sex
It's hard to recognize your own subconscious motivations, let alone those of others. I've wondered if I purposely stayed overweight in an attempt to protect myself from attention from other men and thus protect my marriage. I still did attract other men when I was overweight, but my vanity prevented me from responding to their overtures. It kind of makes sense if you consider that I was never overweight until I had kids and I was unable to lose the weight until they were old enough that I felt less guilty about the prospect of divorce.
