This is a strange question i have been asking myself for a very long time...but i seriously think maybe if it didn't cause my problem, it definatly sped up the process!
I got my laptop on my 16th birthday, and was addicted from the beginning! I loved the fact i had access to the whole world on my own little device in my own room, :D i also got the sims 3 game with it and got stupidly addicted for a few weeks (yes a bit sad i know lol) but during that time i ate without thinking (the way you do in front of the TV) And was always snacking on birthday chocolates, and soon became quite unhappy with my weight - i wasn't fat, no way near actually, just not rock chick, kate moss, gorgeous sexy thin.
I innocently started researching how to loose a bit of weight, healthy lunch ideas, good excercise tips etc, which was helpful! But then i realised i could get the calorie count for practically EVEYTHING on the internet, and started to become a bit obsessive about my intake.
I would look a models, cakes, chocolate and pizza on google images - you know theres something wrong when your flicking through the 'food porn' page for hours, basically if your looking at stuff that even you know is a bit odd to look at then you know theres a problem!
Now i would be sceptical about the internet 'making me worse' but i went away to scotland for 2 weeks without ANY internet access, and honestly, i ate like a normal person again....no fear or worries (i mean i had a few moments) but just eating a good, normal amount when i was hungry and the occasional treat was fine by me! But as soon as i go my internet back again i got obsessive again :-/ maybe all his technology isn't so good for us after all?

Olive Oil...
- Olive oil is one of the most beneficial dietary fats one can consume. It's a monounsaturated "heart-healthy" fat and can actually reduce cholesterol levels in your body.
- Light olive oil should be used when a very subtle flavour is sought; the "light" refers to colour and taste, not fat. Extra-virgin oil enriches the taste of meat, fish and vegetables. Pure olive oil is best for salad dressings, sauteed vegetables or tossed pasta.
- A new study conducted by researchers from Northwestern University and the Monell Chemical Senses Center has found that a naturally occurring compound found in extra virgin olive oil beneficially alters the structure of neurotoxic proteins believed to contribute to the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's.
-Olive oil has been reported to reduce the risks of certain cancers including skin, breast, ovarian, colon and prostate due to the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid.
-Olive oil can be used to heal dry skin and its antioxidant properties have been reported to fight the signs of age.
