3-“I ALREADY ATE”
Horrors. I had no idea. Of course I had no idea, I didn’t weigh myself. Sure my clothes were a little snug, a lot snug, but that ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ mentality kept creeping in: the old procrastination trick so I can have today what I promise I won’t have tomorrow. THE LAST SUPPER – beforeContinue reading “3-“I ALREADY ATE””
Can Your Fat Think?
Can Your Fat Think! Does your fat have a brain? If it has nerve networks running through it, then yes. Can it make decisions?

The chemical interactionContinue reading “Can Your Fat Think?”
2- It was like I was IN A wide awake coma.
I hit the wall after about 4 hours of methodical mild to moderate activity – always with purpose, something I knew needed to be done, while simultaneously enhancing my environment.

The Pain FAcTor In Weight Gain
I’m not actually hungry. I’m in chronic pain, which my brain translates to my organism as being in danger, which reacts by signaling me to eat or drink or do both as the antidote or treatment.
11 DAYS AND COUNTING
That half pound attached to the 155.5 lb. reading on the scale this past Friday bothered me, so I weighed myself this morning (Monday) at 4:14 AM, even though my rule was to weigh-in only once a week on Fridays. Obviously I woke up feeling a little lighter, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it. So,Continue reading “11 DAYS AND COUNTING”
Scales And Mirrors (part 4) ©

Not Every Day
Not every day. It gets too old, too familiar, too fast. Break it up. Doing something every single day, at the same time in the same way creates a need for it. Rather than helping as designed or expected, it harms. Or it creates a resentment. Boredom sets up a mindset that affects how theContinue reading “Not Every Day”
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUNGER AND CRAVINGS
Boy, do I love a fat slice of pizza or three. When that meaty, cheesy, tomatoey aroma hits my nostrils and I see that greasy cardboard box open and reveal those glistening triangular slices, I know I’m going to have a hard time controlling myself. Put me in front of an unlimited supply and IContinue reading “THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUNGER AND CRAVINGS”
