Resisting Temptation

The only thing tempting me is eating sweets. Any kind of sweet....well to be exact anything chocolate or banana splitty (if that's even a word).

And looking at this picture =>

.....makes me want to climb the walls.


Sucking on a lifesavor right now is just NOT cutting it.





Nope.





So why am I craving sweets?





Found some interesting info here:

(CBS) Ever wonder why we seem to crave most the food that's worst for us? Could it be that we literally can't resist it? That's what neuroscientist Ann Kelly has been studying for more than a decade in her lab at the University of Wisconsin, CBS News correspondent Trish Regan reports. "In a way, food is like a drug," Kelly says. In the lab, when a drug-addicted rat thinks it's about to get its morphine fix, the brain lights up. It turns out that when a rat in the lab that's conditioned to like sweets thinks it's going to get chocolate, its brain shows similar activity. "I hesitate to say there is such a thing as food addiction," Kelly says. "But what we have to keep in mind is that food can affect the brain in a very similar way as addictive drugs." "This could be the smoking gun," says law professor John Banzhaf. "We could say fat is the next tobacco."

GOD I am a fat junkie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
