"You probably know someone in your life who is really, really nice. (Maybe it’s you?) This person is so nice that no-one has ever seen them angry or even a little bit irritated. They’re always eager to please, and if a misunderstanding should arise between themselves and someone else, they try ever so hard to placate the other person, hoping to make the problem go away. You must have also seen people taking advantage of this person’s kindness, often treating them with disrespect or even contempt. The more they try to please, the less respect these nice folk seem to get."
Excellent article about how being nice, and accomodating, often leads to stuffing feelings down with food, which leads to weight gain.
This academic article confirms my own experience, and I was very glad to read this. I have "felt" this is the truth for a long time and this writer explained and articulated this so well. Bravo!
