PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club MUSIC "Dire Straits" comes up because last name Nofler Melissa isn't a huge Bruce Springsteen fan She tends to like the music that Vinnie plays but not always WHY DOES FAT STAY? Melissa is frustrated because she tries really hard to lose weight around her middle She wonders if it is her age, hormones, insulin resistance, etc. Perhaps it is in her head? Falling back into eating bad food is an addiction -- relapse MELISSA'S FOOD ADDICTION She is dairy and egg sensitive so she has been doing elimination dieting Melissa will have some wine and a slice of cake and then relapses, gaining all of the weight back in a couple of weeks If Melissa has had a bad day, by the afternoon she may have a bag of chips Psychological side may require a psychiatrist help etc. Another way to deal with this is to avoid trigger food For Melissa, one is definitely wine Once you start eating badly, it's like heroine You need it to feel good (even though it is bad for you) Also issue of Pavlovian response When Melissa watches "Housewives", she sees them eating badly and drinking wine which tempts her Maybe stop watching such shows
