Last night was in  line at the grocery store and saw a magazine with this caption on the front page. So i purchased it, for research purposes only.

Interesting when you think about it. We’ve been shaped by the media to believe we need to be thin and at the same time  bombarded with ads that make us want  the processed foods that make us fat.

The result seems to be a high level of stress related, among other things, to our weight.

This stress impacts us in many ways,(and makes us spend alot of money looking for solutions!)  But lately we’ve been talking about brain chemistry/neurotransmitters.

That’s what many experts say controls our weight, as well as other things like depression, insomnia, etc.  Everything overlaps.  For example, when a person is overweight they often also suffer from insomnia.

Today when the be thin within group is analyzed for stress related to weight management I’ll post which of our neurotransmitters is most “stressed”.

However, the first and most important objective of this approach to stress management is SELF-LOVE.  Achieving ideal body size and shape, prosperity, optimal health, or whatever is really just a fringe benefit of first going to the core and loving/accepting yourself as you are.

That has to come first.  Otherwise we keep self-sabataging. Many of us have done that all our lives, and not just in areas related to our weight.

And, just so you know, there was no special revelation in the article. All it said is that if you want to lose weight you need to sleep.  Not sorry I purchased it, though, because I now know that young Hollywood is out of control.
