The embarrassing celebrity crush weight loss plan?

[Guest guest]

I've been lurking a while, this is my first time posting. I'll try to be

succinct.

A couple of years ago, I " fell in love " with a guy on TV. Please understand how

embarrassing this is for a 40 year old woman! The good side effect? My obsession

helped me lose 55 pounds without even trying. Overnight I just wasn't hungry

anymore. I could go for hours without thinking about food. My mind was otherwise

occupied with thinking about this celebrity. Completely embarrassing, but the

side effect was great. Eventually the obsession wore off and eventually the

weight loss stopped. Luckily I didn't gain any weight back.

BTW I'm happily married to a fabulous man.

Two years later, it's happened again with another celebrity. I have a new crush

and I'm back to that same mental state of never being hungry. I lost 4 pounds

this week without even trying. It's awesome yet humiliating at the same time.

I read up on dopamine, the " falling in love " chemical in our brains, and I

assume this is what's going on. I have an obsession, doesn't matter what it is

really, and all of a sudden I can be normal about eating because of all the

dopamine rushing through my brain.

How can I keep this going? It seems like this is the state we're trying to get

to with IOWL, but evidently for me I need an obsession to get myself there.
