Cut the glut, not the stomach

The Human Stomach     (Gray's Anatomy image)

Money can’t buy happiness, nor can it buy restraint.  That is why some celebrities try to eat their way out of misery.

After body shamers got the best of her, Mariah Carey decided to go the surgical route.  Not for cancer, mind you.  Nor for heart disease.  This was “gastric sleeve surgery, which shrinks the size of the stomach so patients eat less…”

There are other ways to eat less: healthier ways and cheaper ways.  Ways that rely upon inner strength rather than outer knives.  Ways that celebrate wholeness rather than shrink it.

Carey used to cut tags in her clothing “so she can be blissfully unaware of her size.”  Now she is cutting organs in her body for the same reason.

Which raises the question:  Why not become blissfully aware instead?
