My favorite quotes from Weight of the Nation

I absolutely love Forks Over Knives and Weight of the Nation;  they are both free on Amazon Instant Video.  I watch them all time.  It helps me keep my priorities in perspective.

"...You never know which attempt will allow you to achieve long term success."  This is at the end of Episode 2, "Choices."    This is so true, this is me, I think I am on attempt #21 or #22.

"The Science of Obesity has exploded in the last 15 years..."  I had never heard the word obesity until 1983.  It was basically a clinical term; now this is an everyday term used.

"A lot of people are able to keep off the weight with behavioral changes."  I like this quote because again these words help me keep my priorities in perspective.  

These are all from Episode 2, "Choices" also.
 If you have time this weekend,  watch one or all of the parts.

Heavy Heart....Weight of the Nation

My heart is very heavy from the senseless loss of lives in Newtown, CT.  My heart goes out to all the families and to the community.
These kind of times makes an emotional eater, eat.  That being said, I was very conscious this weekend, because I can sit up, watch 24 hour coverage and eat.  This is what emotional eaters do.  I did get some popcorn and crunched on that---it helped, I wanted more but just drank water.
"Weight of the Nation" is free on Amazon instant video and probably on Hulu, I just haven't checked.
This is a good  because so many people missed it and the HBO streaming was difficult, just didn't work on many browsers, in my opinion.  I have watched it twice.  I recommend it to everyone.  If you just want to understand the urgency of why we need to keep our weight under control, watch "Weight of the Nation."
