Here's another reason to add to your "Why I Can't Lose Weight" list (book). This was on the radio the other night (so of course it's true!!?) and made me laugh right out loud! This is what was reported: a neurological study showed that obese people have about 16% less of functioning brain capacity than non-obese people. And it's the front part of the brain that's affected which is the decision-making part of the brain. So fat people just keep getting fatter because they can't decide which foods to eat so they just eat lots of everything! (Actually the last line wasn't on the radio report but that's what I was thinking when I was laughing!) I did google the report and supposedly the nerve cells get sheathed in some kind of material (fat?!) which causes them to not work as well. Anyway, just what we (don't) need - another excuse.

I've been working really hard at making sure there's exercise done every day even if it's a short walk. Trying to get my mind trained to make it a habit and a priority rather than an afterthought or an "IF I have time".

Eating is going okay but I'm still drinking too much diet pop so that's another project to work on in the upcoming summer weeks. If I try and do everything I need to be doing all at once, it's brain overload and then I get overwhelmed and feel like quitting (and see, that brain study shows that I've got diminished brain cells to work with anyway!!). One thing at a time--
