Does anyone watch the Biggest Loser for inspiration? Tuesday night was interesting with Dr. Linden, a brain scientist, talking about the dopamine responses in the pleasure centers of our brains. He explained that it's different for lean and obese people. A lean person gets less pleasure from smelling a cheeseburger but more pleasure from eating it and vice versa for an obese person. I think this makes sense because the skinny people I know are satisfied with just a taste of something, apparently enough pleasure from a smaller amount. I have my work cut out to try to take the focus off of food and finding pleasure from something else. Better get quilting I guess.
