My colleague, Dr. Irv Rubenstein, in Nashville Tennessee wrote an interesting blog post about how new research is finding that your Brain actually changes when you become obese.  Does being obese mean that you do not have the same control over your eating behavior?  There may be research that shows it is not as simple as saying to stop eating when you are full.  You can read more through the link below on his evaluation:

 I have personally been more and more interested in learning about behavior change and how it relates to losing weight.  When you look at weight loss in simplistic terms many will say just eat less and exercise more.  While this is the foundation for any weight loss program, I think most people already understand this.

Instead we should focus on the more challenging aspects.  This is the how we do it.  How do I convince, manipulate, inspire...whatever term you want to use to make this a priority for you and keep you accountable so you stick with it and see the results.

The brain is a powerful organ.  It controls all movement of the body, functions of our organs and systems, and controls our thoughts.  We need to start taking control of our minds to get results.  If you have negative thoughts or negative influences on you, the rate of success dramatically falls.

Start controlling your thoughts.  When you have a negative thought come into your head, immediately stop what you are doing and say a positive thought 10 times.  It might sound silly but thinking positive is a trait of most successful people.  If you think you can do it you probably will.
