Good News, I managed to lose 1 pound last week. Bad News is that I lost control, over ate sushi and I had a brief encounter with my ex (M&Ms). I was so good all week. I made some new friends- carrots, apples and cucumber sticks. We hung out for some snacks. I didn't think about JF as much, but then towards the end of the week I really started to miss it. I broke down yesterday and I had quite a few M&Ms, but it was mixed in with trail mix so I felt initially like it was OK. Then, the flood gates were open and I went for the sushi with tempura flakes and sweet sauce.
What went wrong? Why did this happen? Am I addicted to JF? Why do I crave its sweet and savory sides? I started reading this book, "The End of Overeating" (see sidebar) from David Kessler, a Harvard-trained doctor, lawyer, medical school dean and former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. He concluded that foods high in fat, salt and sugar alter the brain's chemistry in ways that compel people to overeat. Dr. Kessler is helping me understand that Junk Food is not only messing with my body and health, but its playing mind games with me!!
