I have decided that this battle is truly won and lost at the grocery store. I have been determined to eat like a pig all week but have been saved from my own self-destructive behavior by the fact I have LOTS of healthy snacking options available at home. Pigged out last night on Laughing Cow cheese, imitation crab and Arnold sandwich thins. Total damage - 7 points. Still not getting my exercise, but I plan to get my 10,000 steps today come Hell or high water. I'll try to check in later...
This isn't really you sabotaging yourself, its just that lipid cells release hormones that trigger increased hunger in the brain. (at least in dogs, and I think research is showing it in people too) The little buggers know you are trying to off them and are fighting back! If this were about willpower, you'd be skinny in a heartbeat. I mean really, who has more willpower, you or me? YOU!!! On the plus side, as you do off them, they won't be able to release as many hunger hormones...
