"Now I know that that is just the phenomena of eating this way. Most all of my letters say I hit a plateau and then one morning I woke up and the melt had happened"
About this Quote
Somers is not talking as a clinician; she's talking as a charismatic friend who has mail to prove it. "Most all of my letters" is an appeal to crowdsourced authority, the influencer-era precursor to testimonials and before-and-after reels. It suggests a community of believers whose shared experience stands in for data. The subtext is: if its happening to everyone, its going to happen to you - and if it hasnt yet, youre just in the suspenseful part.
Culturally, this fits Somers long-running role as a wellness entrepreneur who translated celebrity familiarity into lifestyle doctrine. The intent isnt simply to describe dieting; its to keep you compliant through the boring stretch, to reframe stagnation as progress-in-disguise. She offers not a plan so much as a narrative that protects the plan from criticism: if results disappear, thats normal; if they reappear, thats proof.
