I'm not sure those examples jive with ...Erika,<br /><br />I'm not sure those examples jive with the brain chemistry involved here. For some people (like me), eating certain junk foods "lights up" certain parts of the brain that aren't stimulated by eating healthier foods. In short, I think the pleasurable feeling, as fleeting as it often is, is more intense than the negative feeling. That's part of the reason why it's difficult to convince ourselves to simply avoid such foods. It's basically like an addiction for some people, IMO. That's also the reason why it often gets easier to avoid harmful foods the longer we stay away from them. It's a mental thing, IMO.Harry/JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259374954499772933noreply@blogger.com
