They think about food daily, agonize over “bad” foods and the fact that they shouldn’t eat them, stress over what they’ll make for diner, lust over their partner’s plates, and process complex math to count their calories. This is total madness, slavery, and a life doomed for misery.

You have manifested everything in your life from the shoes on your feet, to the amount of money in your bank, to the quality of every relationship in your life.
