HEDONIC HUNGER - FANCY THAT...

Obese Robert in Hawaii - 2009

DATELINE - NAPLES

The University at Naples has released the results of a study on why we eat, even when not hungry.

They call it 'Hedonic Hunger'.  Eating for pleasure, to enjoy the taste.  Fancy that...

Who funds these reports?  Does not take a rocket scientist to know why folks will always find room for that cake, or ice cream, or choco.

After all of these years, big as public transport, do you not think MOI had a clue as to why the lovely treats found way to cake hole?

This report follows on the heels of another that finds that over 40% of Americans will be 'obese' in some 20 years.

There be some who feel that the old geezer bangs on too much about weight.  Bloody hell, one is constantly reminded of just how about being FAT.  The diet industry works in over drive to remind us.

MOI used to call self 'overweight', OBESE more like. Found clever ways to adjust the weight. Went so far as to lie about weight on ID card.  Told was only 200 pounds, when the weight was well over 300...

With the new found dislike for groceries, the pounds are dropping off.  Will know just how much when a trip to scales is made on the 22nd of May, the day before returning to see doctor.

What can be revealed is that taste is still gone, and MOI is eating to live, not living to eat.  Odd that, as when younger, that is what was done, weight was no problem and remember weighing 170 on 40th birthday.  Was 144 pounds at university.  That was before I fell in love with FAT.

Took a BMI test and saw that if weight gets down to 180, MOI is still considered 'overweight'.  How funny, but will be most pleased if that is the case.

MOI keeps thinking of the poor chap in UK.  58 stone he is.  Do you not think that some of the food pictured with him, is the constant wanting to pleasure self? What you see in the snap is but part of the groceries he piles away.  Truth be told, many of items featured were pure delight to the old geezer as well.  Now, there is no desire to eat.  One hopes to never taste crips again...
