MelissaEileen | I recently gained two pounds. Not a huge deal, but I'd much rather be maintaining my goal weight rather than putting pounds back on. I especially don't want this gaining pattern to continue. So, I was desperately trying to figure out how I was gaining weight while running three times a week, strength/core training three times a week, swimming once a week and cycling once a week.

I downed a lot of left over Halloween candy. Then to make it worse this morning I ate a lot of cornbread. An unreasonable amount of cornbread. A REALLY unreasonable amount. I'm not really sure why either, it didn't taste THAT good. It was almost as if I were trying to bury some emotion in my stomach with it. Now I ... |

By Brian Wansink
In this illuminating and groundbreaking new book, food psychologist Brian Wansink shows why you may not realize how much you’re eating, what you’re eating–or why you’re even eating at all.
• Does food with a brand name really taste better?
• Do you hate brussels sprouts because your mother did?
• Does the size of your plate determine how hungry you feel?
• How much would you eat if your soup bowl secretly refilled itself?
• What does your favorite comfort food really say about you?
• Why do ... |

I'm a New Yorker, we go out at least once a week and drinking is a past time; as well as in my family.

What the FFsdfnkdjf 8jnj!!! I've gained 2.8 lbs and I haven't been this heavy in a while. I really am having a problem overeating ... |
