What Road Do I Take?

Emotional Eating

Body Chemicals Signal the Brain which Suppresses the Urge to Eat.

Eating & Emotions Need and Desire are Not All that Separate.

Eating Tasty Food Tickles the Brain vs Pleasure Centers.

Eating causes the Brain to Generate Feelings of Satisfaction, Comfort, and Well-being.

All Pleasurable Feelings Come from the SAME Brain Areas.

Love is an Emotion which Includes Feelings of Attraction and Affection.

Human DESIRE is the Fundamental Motivation of ALL Human Action.
