The Wellness of YOU — Part Seven
– Or —
Are You Planning To Wait Until Later?
January 19, 2006
If you’ve been watching any television lately you have probably noticed that there are a ton of commercials, infomercials and diet shows, right?
Just about every one of them is pushing some great new product or scheme for you to lose weight — you know what they say — “Lose weight now — do it quickly, the easy, natural way!”
I was doing some more reading and saw this survey about how most Americans who make a New Year’s Resolution to lose weight will put off any serious effort to lose that weight until March or April.
Would you like to know why?
It seems that we don’t get serious about losing weight until we start thinking about t-shirts, shorts and bathing suits.
Yep! That’s when more of us is going to show — and we’d like what shows to be less of us. Isn’t that the way it seems to work?
Well, I have some news for you procrastinators. If you are planning to wait until the weather starts to warm up before you get serious about losing those 10 or so pounds in order to get into that bathing suit — you might be dooming yourself to failure.
A healthy weight loss program that is truly realistic — that will help you to lose the weight and keep it off — will amount to 1 or 2 pounds per week.
You really should get started now — not later — slow and easy is best!
Just thought I’d pass that on.

Here’s an interesting article that takes a humorous look at another reason to lose weight:
This is from Reuters in Australia on Wed Jan 18, 10:58 AM ET
A prisoner lost some 30 pounds so he could squeeze through a hole he chiseled in a brick wall and escape from a maximum security jail in Sydney.
Robert Cole, 36, who was serving time for stealing and assault, was being treated in the Long Bay prison hospital when he broke out of jail Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
New South Wales state Corrective Services deputy commissioner Ian McLean told reporters it appeared Cole had deliberately lost weight so he could slip through the crack in the wall.
“It certainly looks like it to me,” McLean said on Wednesday.
After squeezing through a small hole next to a window in the hospital wall, Cole scaled a wire fence crowned with razor wire and then walked along a prison wall, before jumping to freedom.
There were no guards on the prison wall overnight, as jail authorities relied on surveillance cameras and sensor detectors to stop night jailbreaks. Long Bay’s security manager has been stood down pending an investigation, said McLean.
