While reading the Sunday Paper I came across an article which intrigued me. It seams that even in Brazil the skimpiest bikini capital in the world people are coming to the realization that obesity is alive and well.

Some studies suggest  that your brain has more to do with being obese than people realize.  These studies show that obese people may have a predisposition to be overweight due to not being able to control cravings in the brain. In other words when thin people are shown  the so called “naughty foods” (high sugar or fatty foods) they show more control and willpower than obese. The findings can be seen in cat scans of the brain in an area used for control and willpower. Obese people shown the same foods show readings in an area that shows temptation.  This is what is known as the “I wants”. The Question is do thin people have the ability to keep their willpower turned on or is it a case of “use it or loose it”? Do obese people have a disposition to turn off their willpower or is the ability to turn it on lost due to lack of use? The thin people who have used their willpower constantly to control their cravings may do it with out thinking about using it; while obese people who have the cravings may have to concentrate on using their willpower due to giving into the cravings more. So if you do not want to loose the ability to use your willpower USE IT!!!!!!!!!!
