Now I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and am closing in on diabetes. I have to force myself to exercise. I am working on it. That's why I started a blog. I felt like it my be extra motivation. I love reading your story. You are fantastic. <br /><br />Betty Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149186891188677587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-90837993483189610962013-02-14T14:17:36.209-05:002013-02-14T14:17:36.209-05:00Good for you, Mary Fran!
Although I have learned ...Good for you, Mary Fran!<br /><br />Although I have learned that why we have over-eaten all these years isn't entirely our own fault. Our brains have been wired by the food and restaurant industry to react that way. It's all in Dr. Kessler's book, which I still highly recommend to everyone battling their weight.<br /><br />That said, we can consciously work to overcome the 'conditioned hypereating.' It just takes knowledge of the science going on in our brains, and learning new ways to avoid the knee-jerk reactions chemically induced. :)Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386517479350871434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-23783798815009250392013-02-14T14:03:10.961-05:002013-02-14T14:03:10.961-05:00Very thought provoking post today!

I could easily go down the 'stream,' but kept repeating the same actions over and over again knowing I would get the same results (consequences). I didn't understand what she meant then, but I do now. Darcy Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762044938727103931noreply@blogger.com
