A little elbow grease

27 May: 79.6 kg. All it took was not pigging out like a zombie (and skipping dinner for the last couple of nights). I have been digesting some interviews with the author of The End of Overeating (David Kessler) and coincidently the book's premise is that salt, sugar, and fat, when combined as is often the case in all the processed and yummy foods that I like so many other people gorge themselves on, have an effect on the brain's chemistry and cause us to eat far too much and far too often. The brain is mostly powerless against that combination and once you start down the slippery slope of junk food it is very difficult for your body to convince the brain to feel satiated with normal (or god forbid healthy) food. If it wasn't most likely impossible around here I would buy this book. But at least the interviews helped. The tape measure won't circumnavigate my belly til the end of the week. Be patient.
