It was time to move this website over to this new account. Good news
It means having to rebuild every page from scratch. Bad news. The last three or four months of blogs are being transferred over and posted. Ones that are older than that are available here (for now). Thanks for moving with me.

All or nothing. That's the mindset that a lot of people have when it comes to a lot of things. It's either all good or all bad. It's either all wonderful or all horrible. It's either all healthy or it's all junk food. This is also what seems to sabotage a lot of our best intentions toward eating better. We think we're going to start our new health kick and eat only kale and tofu (all), but after our willpower caves in to a chocolate muffin, we throw up our hands and say, "What the Heck," and we fall off the bandwagon (nothing). Tonight is Halloween and this all or nothing thinking is at a peak. Little Twix and Snickers bars, little bags of M&Ms and Skittles. It's easy to say "What the Heck," and eat until they're gone. In one of our studies we analyzed weight gain and showed for Americans it steadily starts rising from about now until January. Here's something you can do tonight. Put a bowl of fruit out on your counter as an antidote to the candy that will be probably be sitting there for the next week. It least the candy will have some competition. It seems to be working for the police.  As a researcher, I am very sorry for any mistakes I have made in my papers. I apologize about how they negatively reflected on my colleagues, my wonderful school, and on social science research in general.
This is a time when it’s important for me to listen and reflect upon how I can make amends. It’s always been my hope that my research make people healthier and happier. I want to find a way to support and further the work of the next generation of scientists. If there are concerns or other ideas you have and if you would want to talk one-to-one, I’d be interested in hearing from you. |
Solve & ShareFor 20 years we’ve helped people solve eating problems by changing their environment, but this blog focuses on our underlying desires to be happy, healthy, and connected. See what works for you, and share it with others.
