weight loss and nurturing

Good morning...I am completely bummed out this morning as thr Giants lost last night....People in the office stay away from me for the first part of Monday morning when the Giants lose on a sunday...why do lots of men allow their team's loss affect them the next day??? It is a "Y" chromosome thing....

Lets talk about a "X" chromosome thing...nurturing. Whether it be a chemical/hormonal thing or a learned response, women tend to be more nurturing than men. Whether if be making an apple pie on a sunday, bringing cookies into coworkers or providing a high-caloric "treat" for our children, women tend to nurture others with food. Very difficult patients in our program are nurses and teachers as both geroups tendto always be challenged by high-caloric food sources brought in my their colleagues. Common to both professions is female predominance.

It is important that we, as a country, must be better about not "nurturing" others around us just with high-caloric food sources. Especially if or colleagues and/or family members are overweight we are HURTING them by challenging their food control by bringing them high calorie foods.

Tonight Posner is rooting for the Skins....doesnt happen often but it is that way tonight.... Eagles need to go down...its enough we have to put upo with the World Series thing again...UGH (man am i bitter today from the Giants loss...I will be better after lunch...promise!)
