"The Viper" Hakan Ostlund

"He lived some kind of pretend life steered if not by lies, then at least a stubborn refusal to look life right in the eyes.  It was easily done, it was comfortable and human, she knew that, but if you make a habit out of always directing your gaze a little to the side, life starts to become a little fuzzy around the edges.  And she didn't want to see him like that, meekly, carving out a shapeless life."

"The Blood Sugar Solution" Mark Hyman

Heard Hyman on the radio & picked up the book. Good reminders: 
At a mealtime- "Take 'Five' before a meal...Just take five breaths in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth. Slowly count to five on each in-breath and again on each out breath...Offer gratitude before the meal...Just offering thanks is a powerful activity that will change your relationship to food...Bring your attention fully to the food." 

"After every meal or snack, do the following: 
-Write down what you ate in as much detail as possible. 
-Think about how this meal or snack made you feel. 
-Every evening think about how your experience with food impacted your day"
