I’ve wondered for a long time since I got involved with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®), whether the results of the MBTI ®(a personality type questionnaire) would reveal those people who would be considered either Type A or Type B personality types. First, if you’re not familiar...

Last time I wrote about Eye Hunger. Today, I’m going to be discussing Nose Hunger, adding one more petal to our “Types of Hunger” Flower. Don’t deny it! If you smell something being barbecued or you pass a bakery and a waft of cooking cookie dough comes your way, all of a sudden...

Right now I’m eating caramel corn from a bag I bought at the fair the other day. It was just sitting on my desk begging to be eaten. Am I actually hungry? No. But my eyes are. Unfortunately, we often eat for other reasons than pure hunger. Check out my “Hungry Flower”, each petal representing...

The baby boomer generation spans from births in 1946 to 1964. They make up about 26% of the U.S. population. They were very instrumental in bringing about many of the things we take for granted today. About the time the first baby boomers were being born, the average cost of a new home was $5,600. You...

Did you check yourself out in the mirror this morning? If so, did you like what you saw? Or did you tell yourself that today is the day you’re seriously going to start losing the weight?  That you’re tired of looking and feeling the way you do. What if I were to suggest to you that a good...

Actually, it is possible that your personality made you eat it. People who live in the moment and are spontaneous tend to live by the “instant gratification” rule: “When I want it, I will have it”. They don’t stop and think of the consequences of eating foods that are high...

As any mother knows, given the choice, kids will avoid eating vegetables. You’d have to wonder where kids got this innate dislike of the taste of vegetables. Granted, many vegetables may have a bitter taste, have a sulphuric odor, and may have a consistency that just isn’t pleasing to a child’s...
