Beaten to posting about it but had a good time talking about sports betting and the impacts in Ohio with Spectrum News. There is a lot we are working on in Ohio to try to better support those with gambling problems and the TEA Lab is continuing to do work in this area.

The best part of teaching might be getting to set aside time to read big picture articles like this one. Definitely worth a read! psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

I have a lot of questions about how this might generalize to the real world and who might be most affected by exercise. We have a small pilot study testing these hypotheses underway and hope to conduct a larger trial with funding. 4/4

These effects might be stronger when people exercise in a fasted state. These effects also are specific to cardiovascular activity and not resistance training. 3/

Basic rodent and exercise physiology research suggests that moderate to vigorous physical activity might facilitate dietary restriction by suppressing relative energy intake. We think this might happen through homeostatic and hedonic pathways. 2/

This was surprising to me but underscores the long term consequences of food insecurity and how access to large quantities of food can facilitate binge eating. 3/4

A smart reviewer had us look at the impact of campus meal plans. Students who had a campus meal plan had a link between food insecurity and binge eating, but students without a meal plan did not! 2/4

How are food insecurity, intuitive eating, and binge eating related? @trezeppa.bsky.social found (non)reliance on internal hunger and security cues may account for the relationship between food insecurity and binge eating in college students. 1/4

To what extent do internalized weight stigma and thin ideal internalization overlap? Our recent paper suggests not too much and that eating disorder prevention programs might want to target both types of internalized bias. doi.org/10.1002/jclp...

Misplaced something, tore apart my office, and found a letter from NIH in 1999 with a grant score shoved in the bottom of a drawer. Did life feel calmer in the days of paper correspondence?

Surprisinglu, gastric interoception was not linked to feeling fat. Reviewers suggested some interesting post hoc analyses that suggest feeling fat might be linked to feelings of fullness. Interesting future directions!

Does "feeling fat" reflect problems identifying emotions, problems attuning to bodily cues, or both? @naomighill.bsky.social found that poorer emotion differentiation is associated with feeling fat, only for women higher in eating pathology. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...
