So, I got a book. I bought it from Borders this am. Fortunately, I'm a Border's Rewards member and I got 40% off.
I've read 90% of the book so far, and it seems like it has sound medical advice on how to avoid munchies and how to minimize inflammation. I have taken 4 classes in endocrinology and neuroendocrinology, and the authors do a great job of trying to explain why we overeat. Of course, it's a fantastically complicated system, but what else would we expect. On their Oprah appearance, the doctors said that the difference between healthy and unhealthy is about 100 kcal a day.
So, starting tomorrow, I'm going to make a commitment to this plan. I might not be able to do everything perfect, but I'm sure there are things that I can do that will make a difference.
Why? Because I don't want to get diabetes.
Why? Because I am in therapy now, and can start to figure out why staying plump feels safe to me-- and why getting skinny has always made me feel very vulnerable. In danger, even.Part of the author's plan is to get a support buddy. My husband doesn't want to read the book, and I don't think he's got what it takes to help me out. So, maybe I'll start posting here.
Every day- 30 minutes of walking. (or something like that)
anyone else get to see a skinny omentum and a fatty omentum on Oprah the other day?
with love,
