ScienceDaily (2010-01-12) — A study found that every hour spent in front of the television per day brings with it an 11 percent greater risk of premature death from all causes, and an 18 percent greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.

Notes on Healing
Jan 12
I’ve realized that I need to heal myself from within. If I’m truly going to lose weight for good and not yo-yo diet for the rest of my life, I need to heal.
I need to heal my…
emotions
pain
depression
lack of self-esteem
self-loathing
I need to heal my feelings of unworthiness and realize that having a happy, healthy life is worth fighting for.
Its easy to fall back on old habits, to lose touch with why I want to lose weight.
Its also easy to just let life pass by. But I don’t want to live that way.
There is so much to do, see, explore and I want to be healthy enough my entire life in order to participate in my life.
So I need to heal myself. I need to figure out why I let my inner emotions use food to cope.
