Here’s your reminder that permanent ”fat to thin” weight-loss is not observed or backed-up by research.

If you’re fat, then you’ll most likely never be thin for long. Anderson JW, et al. found in a 2001 meta-analysis of 29 long-term weight-loss studies, that participants maintained an avarage of 3.0 kg or 23% of their initial weight-loss after 4 or 5 years.

These studies had participants’ initial weights ranging from 73.5 kg to 148kg (btw, participants weighting 140.1 were the ones to initially lose the most weight on avarage: 44.2 kg). And I’m sorry, but a 3 kg maintained weight loss is never going to make even a short 95 kg weighting person thin, even less so a 148 weighting one.

From what I’ve observed, there is absolutely no research to support that permanent weight-loss can be achieved, with, but especially not without, surgery.

We are sold a lie of how our bodies are supposed to look, and then we are sold surgeries, pills, courses, mentorships, gym memberships, more surgeries, books, exercise equipment for weight loss, powders, and did I mention surgeries??

It’s bullsh*t.

Happy weekend!

i grew up with the mindset that "if i (an adult) cant do it, youcant" and i realise now how wrong and awful that mindset is. truly an ageist mindset. stop belittling young people because you believe they are lesser than you. young people can achieve many things, you just judge them for their age. instead of judging children , how about you judge your mindset and change it. learn that children can do things too, you just judge by age.

Giving your best doesn't mean you need to sacrifice your mental health and put yourself under a tremendous amount of stress. Relax. It's all going to work out.

The Diversity of Success and Happiness: Embracing Multiple Paths to Fulfillment

The idea that there is only one way to be successful, happy, or live a fulfilling life is a limiting belief that many people hold onto, often due to societal pressure or cultural norms. However, the truth is that everyone's path is different and what works for one person may not work for another. The concept of success, happiness, and fulfillment is subjective and can differ from person to person, based on individual goals, values, and aspirations.

For example, one person might define success as having a high-paying job and a lot of material wealth, while another might define success as having meaningful relationships, making a positive impact on others, and living a simple life. Similarly, happiness for one person might come from traveling the world and trying new experiences, while for another it might come from being in nature, practicing mindfulness, and spending time with loved ones.

It's important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to achieve success, happiness, or fulfillment. What matters most is that you find what works best for you and that you are true to yourself. This might mean taking a non-traditional path or doing things differently from what is expected or socially accepted.

In conclusion, it's important to break free from limiting beliefs and embrace the idea that there are many ways to be successful, happy, and live a fulfilling life. It's up to you to define what that means for you and find your own path to achieving it.

Anger

A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery. He takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes and begins his meditation.

After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own. With his eyes still closed, he senses his anger rising, and by the time he opens his eyes, he is ready to scream at the boatman who dared disturb his meditation.

But when he opens his eyes, he sees it’s an empty boat that had probably got untethered and floated to the middle of the lake. At that moment, the monk achieves self-realization, and understands that the anger is within him; it merely needs the bump of an external object to provoke it out of him.

From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or provokes him to anger, he reminds himself, “The other person is merely an empty boat. The anger is within me.”

Some useful timeless tips

Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

Enjoy the simple things.

Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, or whatever. Your home is your refuge.

Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. We all need to live life to its fullest each day, Worry about nothing, and pray about everything!!!
