Losing the "Fat" Brain

It seems that my brain may also need to go on a diet. I was thinking about this earlier this morning. It’s hard when I look at myself in the mirror sometimes because I still see my obese self, even though my brain and body know that I’m not. I certainly don’t even eat like an obese person either.

My “fat” brain thinks I’m ugly and unworthy of affection. My “fat” brain doesn’t want attention. My “fat’ brain just sucks and needs to just go away already.

My lighter brain, however, is starting to see some positive physical attributes in me, such as strong calves. My lighter brain wouldn’t mind being noticed sometimes. I need to lose my “fat” brain to make room for my lighter, more optimistic brain.

Wow. I didn’t know that my brain needed to go on a diet as well! This recovery process is crazy! I thought that I’d mainly have to deal with physical challenges, but the mental challenges are proving even more difficult. I have more mood swings than I already have had in the past. I have cravings for food again, but my stomach can’t have any of it.

Now, my search for peace, balance, and harmony in my mind, body, and soul is more important than ever. The “honeymoon” period is over.

Fact: The brain is the “fattiest” organ in the body. It weighs 3 pounds and 60% of that is fat.

There’s some food for thought. My brain is literally fat! Ha!

Peace always,
