Document Summary
Incentives (goals) the stimuli we seek to reduce the drives such as social approval and companionship, food, water and other needs. If you are craving for something, don"t try to ignore it because it will get worse, instead, try focusing on something that requires active visual-spatial thought, because imagery can help you deal with your craving. Ex: when children who are obese are allowed to smell or eat just a small sample of candy bars, cakes and savory nuts, they eat more of these items when given the opportunity than do normal weight children. Obese people have significantly higher metabolic activity in those regions of the brain that respond to sensation of the mouth, lips and tongue. Consecutive loss of menstrual periods (amenorrhea), and for males a loss of sexual: anorexia and bulimia. Idealized view of a thin figure for anorexia may be influenced by sociocultural factors but it is not the same trend as bulimia.
