Turn down the Appestat
I know someone probably want to know just what is an appestat. Well I am glad you ask me. Appestat is the area in the brain that regulate the appetite and food intake according to Dr. Norman Jolliffe. He believes that people may overeat for three main reason:1) being a simple habit;2) doing it on purpose;) or because of social, financial, or just stressful situations. There are many more reasons. Like the themostat in one's home need adjusting, so must the appestat of the brain need adjusting also. I found that eating less and moving more will help with the adjustment of the appestat. Speaking of moving more I did about 9000 steps today and boy was I tired. But I love walking. I have a bike at home and some ankle weights, and hand weight, and dvds. And a host of books and other resources. I went on my three miles practice walk today and my husband joined me. My family is very supportive to me and I have a good support system which is a very good to have around. Even sometimes I get a little cranky sometimes I always come around. Not saying that I have arrived but I press toward that GOOD HEALTH mark!!!
