Looking for Pleasure from Food & Not Finding It
Check out this link: http://healthland.time.com/2010/10/04/study-overweight-people-get-less-pleasure-from-food/#more-11263 it was an interesting read. A quick overview: overweight and obese people have fewer pleasure receptors in the brain. A study was done to test women who overate. I believe it's worth the few minutes of reading this article. If you read at a slow rate or can't retain the information you read (as I sometimes do)...it's still worth the "extra" time you'll invest into this one. It talks about "chasing the high," which I know all too well. I've chased the dream of that euphoric feeling right to the bottom of many cartons of ice cream, snickers bars, and boxes of double fried potato strips from the "golden arches."
