An illustration of weight loss…
Scientific studies on the life and life cycles of the insect called the moth are astounding. The life cycle is really interesting. The body of the moth larva grows into a caterpillar-like body. The time for change has come.
The caterpillar spins its cocoon around itself and seals itself inside. The formed cocoon contains a tightly coiled inner cocoon. These incredible cocoon structures can protect their inhabitants in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit. While in the cocoon, its body transforms into a flying moth insect.
That’s very interesting, but what does that have to do with weight loss?
Let’s keep watching. The moth, upon reaching maturity inside the cocoon, develops a small hole in the bottom of the cocoon. Through this small hole, the moth must leave its cocoon chamber to enter the world of flight.
The extraction process is vigorous with the moth pushing, pulling, etc. This process requires a considerable amount of time and effort to finally break out of the cocoon habitat. However, the effort is worth it because now the moth is able to fly.
How did that happen?
As it struggled to get out of the cocoon, some bodily fluid was forced onto the wings. Wings filled with this special fluid soon become stiff and ready to fly.
If the moth did not have to squeeze its wings it would not be able to fly. The result then is the tremendous effort required to fly.
Weight loss can be compared to the enormous effort expended by the moth struggling to get out of its cocoon. Look at the benefits of that fight.
There are many struggles that weight losers go through in their efforts to lose weight. Weight loss success is 90% mental and emotional.
Some have liked their overweight condition and have become comfortable. Some are unaware of the enormous health risks that being overweight entails. [over fat] terms. Some have given up on their quest for necessary weight loss.
Just think that there are all kinds of weight loss pills, exercises, weight loss methods and tips, etc., available today. However, we still have a bumper crop of overweight [over fat] people in all societies.
What exactly is the problem?
A fast food executive from a famous fast food chain was recently questioned.
Why don’t you cut the excess fat and salt out of your fast foods?
He responded with a truism.
If we cut fat and salt out of our food we would be out of business.
So it goes. Fast foods and processed foods are easy to eat and prepare. They also taste good on the palate. As a result, we devour these foods every day.
Are they good for you? NO!
They are tasty? YEAH!
Are they good for you? NO!
I saw a lady in a McDonalds one day. She obviously was overweight to the point of being obese. She ordered 2 Big Mac’s, large fries, 2 apple pies and, since she was on a diet, she ordered a large DIET Coke. She then she sat down and ate it all by herself. She told the attendant that she was on a diet and that’s why she wanted a DIET drink.
That kind of person is in a rut. He will need to change his attitude if he really wants to lose weight. She addresses the main health problems. However, she will tell you that the food at McDonald’s is delicious. And she’s right about the taste. What is it with her body and her health that she is ignoring?
LOSING WEIGHT is 90% a MIND GAME!
Like the moth, an overweight person will have to come out of his mental cocoon. That means putting in the big efforts necessary to lose weight.
If we don’t listen carefully to our body and do something about our condition, we won’t benefit ourselves. Keep in mind that being overweight (over fat) is a danger to your body’s health.
You can beat your overweight circumstance and it starts with your positive attitude first. Even those who have already tried and failed can be victorious.
These people with failed diets and so-called yo-yo diets can succeed. It starts with the positive thinking mindset. Do it now! Nobody can do it for you! Only you can do it for you!
It is generally taught that there is little or no connection between our thoughts and our physical bodies. That is not true. This new publication connects the dots to achieve weight loss victory.
Now it’s time to BLITZKRIEG your overweight battlefield. Yes, start using weight loss cannons for a better, healthier and happier life.
For your success and happiness in weight loss,
