Subject: Good morning

Yesterday I was bad and the scale hasn't budged up or down. I read yesterday that overweight people have fewer "dopamine" receptors in their brains. Dopamine is the natural "feel good" thing that happens when you eat. The indication was that fat people eat more because they are addicted and need more to feel satisfied.

Somehow I thought that explaination was a little flawed. I don't think fat people eat more, but I do thing we eat more of the foods that produce the most "feel good" sensations.

Probably why we all tend to go overboard on carb foods when we do go overboard. I've never seen someone overdose on steak!

Yesterday there was this really disgusting thing on TV. Now normally I don't watch these kind of shows (Jerry Springer), but since I was at work and the big TVs were on all over the room in testing mode, one of the channels came up to his show. There was a really fat girl on there who made no apology of her love of food, and she had a food orgy on the screen. Kinda gross. Shoving food all over her body and in her mouth. Of course they were mostly high carb foods. She described herself as a 'food whore.' Loves sex and loves food and likes to combine the two. Kinda weird. That show is always kinda weird. I've seen it a few times because the guy that used to do my job had it on every day.

Anyway I'm going to start reading Protein Power again, and see if I can find some motivation to get back on track. I tend to get weak late in the month. Hope everyone else is doing better than me.

Sherry, I posted some stuff to you on the FLOCERS site. But just a note on the "overdosing on steak" thing... Dr. Diana Schwarzbien says in her book that the reason we don't OD on protein is because if we eat too much protein, we will become nauseated. Our body knows when we've had enough protein, but it doesn't know when we've had enough carbs. Just a little useless info for ya lol. (NT) -- Kel, 08:39:19 05/24/02 Fri
