Re: Weight Loss (motivation, not logic)

[Guest guest]

This is it, I think. There's a self-destructive desire for food that

needs to be overtaken by a more urgent desire in order to motivate

one toward reducing intake. For me, it is similar to the motivation

noted by jwwright below. At age 47 with two children ages 3 and 5, I

keep asking myself this: What do I want more, this extra food that I

don't need...or to live long enough to see my children grow up and

have their own families? Knowledge and reason are not enough.

Motivation, ever-present desire, and a survival instinct stronger

than one's death wish... these are the things that tip the balance.

maybe it takes some " extreme " desire to curb/replace the desire for

food intake.
