The hormonal effect

LMAO…here it is ladies, proof that it isn’t your fault why you can’t control yourself around food. As reported on 1010 WINS AM, a study was conducted by Gene-Jack Wang of Brookhaven National Laboratory and colleagues that revealed women are less able than men to suppress their hunger, which can lead to a higher obesity level in women than men. The reason why is still being investigated; however, early guesses point towards it being hormonal. So, aside from being emotional eaters, you now have to contend with your hormones in your efforts to control you food addiction!

How does this new tidbit of information affect you and your weight loss efforts? It doesn’t. We’ve already determined that women have a much more difficult time with weight loss for various reasons. This information just reassures you that it isn’t simply in your mind. It just means that you have to work harder at accomplishing your goals. Don’t throw your hands up in disgust and give up. Instead, acknowledge your adversities, respect them, and learn to overcome them.

One thing I’ve learned from observation and studying human behavior is that when a woman has made a decision that she has committed her spirit to, she will not stop until it’s accomplished. Be that woman!
