The 100-Calorie Secret - Never Diet Again!

Overweight people trying to lose weight  categorize snack & dessert  foods into three
categories:

1. Foods that produce guilt-cause secretive eating
   

2. Foods that produce pleasure-may or may not be high calorie
   

3. Foods that produce no emotional reaction.

It's the foods that produce guilt that cause almost all of the problems. Seeking approval from family, friends and even co-workers, the majority of overweight people will go to extremes not to let the world know what and how much they are eating even hiding foods and wrappers. Sometimes they are even hiding it from themselves.  Hiding  foods only makes them more appealing-the result is the need to eat even more.

Eating in the car is a good way to hide food from family and friends.
