Hello friends Just wanted to recommend a book by Dr. Daniel Amen of the Amen clinics. It's called "Change Your Brain, Change Your Body". It's for sell on his website but I got it on Amazon for less than half the price. I got the 6 CD program. Listened to the first two today and my mind is completely blown. He discusses 5 brain types of overeaters and what you need to fix before you can fix the overeating. I'm in the process of figuring out which one or combination I am. He pointed out facts such as if your Serotonin or Vitamin D levels are low then you will be hungry ALL THE TIME. Also, when you get a sugar rush your testosterone levels whether your male or female can drop twentyfive percent which will lead to depression, loss of motivation/energy and overeating.

Facts like that really opened my eyes to see that the binging is not due solely to willpower like I thought. It gave me hope and compassion for myself and I hope it will do the same for you. We feel bad enough when we binge...or at least I do..LOL. It's about time somebody discovered the science behind why we do what we do! This neuroscientist seems to have that science. I'll try to keep you posted Merry Christmas!!!
