I find women especially have a tendency towards this. I suspect cuz so much of female-oriented culture feeds us this ish (pun intended haha). crazy unsustainable shifts in diet for short term results with the inevitable bounce back
if it's for the sake of vanity it's masochistic
if it's for the sake of health, every recognized study of bmi and female mortality has found that having a higher stable bmi results in longer life span than having great dips and spikes. yo-yo dieting is incredibly unhealthy.
so yeah. frustrating as hell to see when it occurs cuz it's really illogical on all levels. particularly considering that peeps who engage seem to find no enjoyment in any part of the process.
still no need to show that though, I hope you don't. she's doing her best as she knows it and the mind/body thing is a challenge for a lot of peeps. she's probably better than you at something too, none of us are perfect
