Excellent post. The brain really is very powerful. It certainly is hard to break the habit of eating comfort foods, especially at night. It’s possible but takes quite a bit of effort, as you mentioned. I also find it helpful to stay busy when I get the most cravings, which is at night for me.

Dopamine is an interesting chemical. Many people who have a cigarette addiction have also been shown to have a history of depression. Depression just happens to be related to dopamine. Nicotine just happens to simulate dopamine in the brain. That’s why it’s hard to give up, and also explains why so many people gain weight when they quit smoking! Thanks for bringing this great article to our attention!

I have really enjoyed some of the other posts on your blog as well, and I am sure my readers would too.

See, it was my brain causing me to eat all that food, not my stomach …

I didn’t know about the dopamine factor. That explains a lot. Brain chemistry is a complicated thing. Add all the other new things that research is finding and shedding pounds seem almost impossible except for the fact knowledge can empower me to reach my goals if I apply it. It is a good thing to know your enemy. BTW…it is a good thing that I don’t have any doughnuts around the house. I am sure that if you would have ran me through a MRI, there would have been some brightly colored spots on my brain.

I didn’t know about the dopamine factor. It does explain a lot. Our brains are so complicated and when you factor in all the other things that research is turning up, it makes you wonder if there is any hope. The thing is that knowledge can empower. It is easier to fight what you know about than what you don’t understand in other words know the enemy. BTW…the doughnuts were tempting. Good thing I have nothing like that in my house.
