Yes, we inherit lots of genes from family members of yore, but those folks had very different lives than ours, war wise, food wise, insulation from winter chill wise, and so forth.<br /><br />We do now have access to so much information about how to care for ourselves, and the option of seeking out any of that information. At the same time, there are all sorts of corporate, governmental, economic and cultural influences that add certain ingredients to our individual lives.<br /><br />It's good to make choices, but also perhaps good to have a certain nonchalance about it all. Going with the flow, listening to any inner signals our bodies (including that brain part) send us.<br /><br />I am glad that I do not smoke cigarettes as my parents did, eat processed foods, own or drive a car. And yet...I ride almost daily on the polluted dangers of the NYC subway. Choices.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-27879953231085269092015-05-19T07:30:09.769-11:002015-05-19T07:30:09.769-11:00I think it's wanting to lose weight more than ...I think it's wanting to lose weight more than you need the comfort of food. You need to be in a positive mindset, happyish, and optimistic. The process needs to excite you. If I knew how to flip the switch and get into that zone every time Id be writing the book now. But I don't. I had a good enough firt day and I've a blog post going up about it in the morning.

I'm just not convinced it's anything to do with willpower - it's about having something worth living for maybe? <br /><br />@Ali - Nope, never heard of it or him... is it worth getting? Truly? I know it's resistance but WHY do we resist?
