Ever wash your own clothes, either at home in a machine or at the laundromat? What happens when you overload the machine?

Many fat people areContinue reading “The Washing Machine Effect”
Habits Don’t Have To Die Hard

When I was eating the least. Hands down no doubt. What does that tell me? Eat less feel better Alrighty.
What do I eat now so I won’t want to eat again in a half hour?
Nothing is the only answer. The introduction of food wants/begs you to keep introducing it. So why do it? Stopping requires more discipline than starting in the realm of food consumption. Go the easy route. Wait 15 minutes. It’s time to switch gears to what you need instead of what you want. Most fat peopleContinue reading “What do I eat now so I won’t want to eat again in a half hour?”

WHY WE GET STUCK
The body tends to want to stay where it’s at – for survival reasons. If you’re alive now then something is right. Something might also be wrong, but survival mechanisms are fairly simple.

Your Fat Body Is Telling You You’re Wrong
If you’re fat, your body is overloaded with nutrients and it’s trying not to absorb them all, because your body doesn’t require as much as you’re telling your body it does. Your body is telling you you’re wrong. The proof is in the fat. It’s storing what you don’t need, which means you’re on nutrientContinue reading “Your Fat Body Is Telling You You’re Wrong”
DELAY GRATIFICATION

THE CONSTANT REMINDER

Skinny vs Skinny
Skinny plant-eaters are like skinny animal-eaters. They’re not that much into food, unless they’ve been bingeing and purging, and that happens in both categories.
