Obesity & Sex: New Study Finds Surprising Results

People who are obese are less likely to have been sexually active in the past year, but even though they had fewer intimate encounters, single obese women reported unplanned pregnancies four times more than thinner, unmarried women, according to a new study in the British Medical Journal.
In addition, obese people were more likely than people of average weight to have sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies, the researchers from France found upon surveying more than 12,000 men and women between age 18 and 69.
While weight didn’t appear to affect women’s ability to climax, erectile dysfunction was two and a half times as common in obese men as in men with healthy BMIs.
As iVillage so aptly points out, this research underscores “how important it is to always put your health first.”
From my perspective as a former sugar addict and author of the book Sugar Shock!, it seems that people who are obese or overweight often feel are more interested in sweets, refined carbs and other junk foods than in getting in the sack with a partner.
But from time to time, though, they realize that those nutrient-deprived foods they’re so reliant on don’t give them what they really want — which is to become emotionally and physically intimate with a significant other.
For those of you who are struggling with weight, I invite you to ask yourself: Do you want to seek “comfort” in food or in the arms of loved ones?
FYI, I realize that it can be tough to break free of your addiction to sugar and refined carbs, which is why I’m dedicated to helping people do just that.

While you’re waiting for this program to begin, here are three tips from Joyce to get you going if you don’t know what you want now.
1) Start with gratitude. (In Joyce’s book, she discusses a “GRABS” formula, which begins with Gratitude and then leads to sharing which starts the cycle of creation over and over.
2) Begin, she says, by making a list of 7 things for which you are grateful. Even if you’re caught up in some family crisis, just take 10 minutes, Joyce urges. “Believe me, it will only take 10 minutes — promise,” she says. And, she adds, “don’t overthink it — be grateful for all of the good things in your life.”ads to sharing which starts the cycle of creation over and over.
She adds that if you feel “nothing’s good right now, then be grateful that you’re alive, that you have your health, that you have food in the cupboard, that the sun came up this morning and will set tonight, that there is a moon in the sky, that you can write, that you have two hands, etc.”
3) Fill out your GRATEFUL LIST
1._______________ 2______________ 3______________ 4___________
5____________ 6_________________7 ____________________
“By being grateful, you’ll find that you’ll automatically switch over to a new state of mind — just like clicking a remote control,” Joyce says. “Once your state of gratitude, you can begin to RELEASE some of your past expectations and hurts or regrets for 2009 or before or for the first part of 2010. Be ready to RECEIVE immediately!”
This gratitude exercise, she says, gives them a new outlook that provides insight into opportunities for today and tomorrow. “You can latch on to your inner creative power IF you are true to yourself and let go of the past. Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. `Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside, awakes,'” Carl Jung wrote.
