Jbbrennan-- then you'd think even HARDER before mentally abusing yourself, wouldn't you?

Another "Dr Phil-ism" is "What would you do if you had a friend who constantly called you fat, ugly, nit-picked everything you ate, everything you wore, constantly told you you were not GOOD enough, too FAT to be worthy of a compliment..etc.?"

You'd likely dump them in short order... so why take that abuse from YOURSELF?
