These people would eat 40 hot dogs at a sitting, 60 slices of pizza, a dozen eggs at a time. . yet they were always hungry. . i felt a mixture of extreme sympathy and disgust. . . one lady's story was so touching - she was such a beautiful person - so loving and sweet to everyone she would meet. . to see how she would treat the ambulance attendants who had to move her bulkage back and forth to the hospital several times - for post gastric bypass surgery complications - i cried. .i couldn't stand it, she was just so lovely and she was trapped in this body of her own making- so unable to do almost anything - it was just sad. <BR/><BR/>Made me think, 'geez, what's my problem? for the most part, i've always been able to keep pretty good control most times and excellent control at other times.' <BR/><BR/>we all have our thing - <BR/><BR/>we both have our 'achilles heel' i guess. there's been research re dopamine and leptin -- the former being the 'feel good' chemical in the brain - MRI scans of the obese show almost no dopamine receptors! similar picture of addicts. other studies show leptin being absent in larger ppl. . leptin tells the brain when to stop eating. . so interesting!kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1127701222488139402005-09-25T22:20:00.000-04:002005-09-25T22:20:00.000-04:00I'm not crazy about the sweets, although I do enjo...I'm not crazy about the sweets, although I do enjoy my chocolate. I find savoury, fatty foods more problematic. Like Doritos. That's my love hate relationship right there. I often think I should get a job at Hostess, just to make me sick of them, but I don't think it would work!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081234423925258918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1127696609276470062005-09-25T21:03:00.000-04:002005-09-25T21:03:00.000-04:00thanx, Tee!!! yeah, its a woman's struggle. . i'm...thanx, Tee!!! yeah, its a woman's struggle. . i'm glad to know that you relate and your share in it!!<BR/><BR/>talk to you soon!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Dee. . . i would bake something for you and ship it, but i don't know what it would be like when it go to ya!?<BR/><BR/>ha ha!!!kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1127535307110951222005-09-24T00:15:00.000-04:002005-09-24T00:15:00.000-04:00This post makes me hungry!!!

You know, that's one thing i actually ...i wonder!! You know, that's one thing i actually don't really care about - ice cream. . . i'll eat it sometimes - but i don't ever crave it. HALLELUJAH! something sweet exists that I don't crave!!! ha ha!!! my favourite things are squares. . I even want to open up my own little shop (I have a name that i don't want to say in case some random blogger nips it!!!) I have a location scouted! (an abandoned hardware store near my house - its this quaint little house) I picture me buying it and outfitting it with a kitchen and tables and chairs, a gorgeous counter, beautiful lighting, it would be a bustling take out type business - possible 'catering' type thing happening for all kinds of special occasions. Only thing is i have no business sense, i don't do accounting and i know that statistically small businesses in this part of the province fold very easily. . and then there goes your life's savings and tons of extended credit - hello bankruptcy. geez, i talked myself right out of it!<BR/><BR/>Nah. . its not the right time. . gotta get our youngest through uni first and pay off the mortage. .kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1127413276096471462005-09-22T14:21:00.000-04:002005-09-22T14:21:00.000-04:00a fellow sweet lover!! yay Sherri! I have not been...a fellow sweet lover!! yay Sherri! I have not been to Bratty Brats for that particular flavour of ice temptation. . . it sounds out of this world!!! <BR/><BR/>Yeah, keeping the sweets outta the house is great advice. I avoid baking currently, even though i love it so much, because i find it hard not to eat the finished result. . I can bake and give away! which i've often done to avoid it going down my gullet. . I bake and freeze. . that stops me from eating it. . its this LOVE/hate thing. <BR/><BR/>I'm TRYING to realize that no food is "bad", but its the amount of it that I choose to eat that's the issue and the frequency with which i indulge. .kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1127412962859682112005-09-22T14:16:00.000-04:002005-09-22T14:16:00.000-04:00geez, fish oil taffy? darned if know. I would say ...geez, fish oil taffy? darned if know. I would say logically speaking that it would provide Omega III fatty acids, which are supposed to be heart healthy. . maybe some iron, protein, i'm not sure what's in a cod's liver!!! Given the choice, I would have rather eaten the actual fish for sure.kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1127412264486839322005-09-22T14:04:00.000-04:002005-09-22T14:04:00.000-04:00I love sweets too.

For a limited time only!!! Oh baby!<BR/><BR/>The best advice I have is just not to have that stuff in the house.
