Here’s a fun article about what McDonalds knows about your brain and how they use it against you. It’s no wonder the golden arches can be so hard to resist.
What motivates me?
Posted by redheadlaw7 on March 28th, 2012
In response to a comment to yesterday’s post I thought I’d share what keeps me eating clean food and passing up MOST but not all of the bad. I guess the best way to describe it is that I’ve learned to delay gratification to some extent. Whenever I see other people eating food that I’d [...]
Perfect snack!

Sometimes it really isn’t as simple as calories in calories out. Singing to the [...]
The struggle to stay thin.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on January 4th, 2012
My husband shot me some commentary about a New York Times article that was recently published called “The Fat Trap.” The article discusses how someone who has dropped a good deal of weight will have to struggle harder to maintain that lower weight than someone who is naturally that thin. It appears that they may [...]
