Hunger and fullness is a continuum. You can be a little hungry, or a little more hungry, or a lot more hungry. You can also be just not hungry anymore, satisfied, full, rather full, quite full, and so on until you feel like you’re going to explode.
Some people go to the effort of devising [...]

Roller Coasters are a waste. So is hang gliding, bungee jumping, any activity that has “Big Air” in its title, skysurfing, lion taming, Pamplona bull running, or wedding dress shopping at Filene’s Basement.
The most expensive roller coasters are now costing $100 Million. That’s unbelievably expensive for a 2 minute ride. Activities like roller coaster riding even [...]

I can’t.
When I can’t, I want to eat.
My boss is driving me absolutely up the wall. It has reached an impossible point, and I cannot (will not) save her.
Type A is an understatement with this woman. She has worked through the night having teleconferences on various subjects that weren’t even necessary for her [...]

Sometimes enough is enough. I’m starting to realize that, to some extent, I’m recovered enough to get on with life and really push food and eating obsession to the back of my life. I’d noticed that before, but today I chose to live that way too.
Today I got up at 4 a.m. and cleaned the kitchen [...]

And the new classic humorous fake commercial:
What [...]

To give you an idea of how I’m developing portion control, here a real account of how I did portion control over the past few days:
1. Was eating normally, then decided that I could try eating much smaller portions, even allowing a portion to be as little as 3 bites. So I tried it, really [...]

Scientific American is a highly respected institution in the USA. Their articles are generally well-thought-out, highly scientific, and reliable. Occasionally, though, they make boo-boos. This month they fell into one of the most common traps: confusion through statistics.
This month’s SciAm is all about diet, health and the food supply. Knowing they’d have some interesting articles [...]

Losing Weight with Intuitive Eating is a Myth.

“Are you in a good mood, lrc?”
“Yea?”
“Well, we are getting a couple of new team members and you’ll have to move. Can you do it by Wednesday?”
“Well, ok. Now that I belong to another department, it’s true that I need to move when you need the space.”
“Good. I already looked at the IT situation and [...]

Action cures fear. Fear is indecision and postponement.
Identify the fear.
Admit it.
Accept it.
Deal with it accordingly. Either confront and take action or cure.
