    "Learned Helplessness theory is the view that clinical depression and related mental illnesses may result from a perceived absence of control over the outcome of a situation."

    Big oversimplification when applied to clinical depression, anxiety, etc. May be true for some for weight loss.

    Because you obviously missed a word in that statement, I bold-faced it for you. Only sith-lords deal in absolutes. Nothing in that statement minimalized clinical depression or other such disorders.

    Those words are not mine but of people (1) that know a boatload more about human psychology than I do. Sorry you find them unkind. I am on no way wanting to minimalize those desorder, it was not my intent.

    (1) Seligman, M. E. P. (1975). Helplessness: On Depression, Development, and Death. San Francisco: W. H. Freeman. ISBN 0-7167-2328-X.

    Thank you for your kind words everyone.

    Gad, this is so funny!! made me roar and scared my secretary.... when I first met my wife, there was a sign on her street that said BUMP, and since then, it's been a joke that we spell it out and say BUMP every time we see the sign on the road or side.

    So this is hilarious, first thing I thought was to read it wrong and try and say wrong
