I love a good weight loss success story. And, here's one a little different from the norm....
When Bob Mewse, aged 56, saw an image of himself side-on via Google Street View last November, he was stunned at just how out of shape he looked. He commented,
I'd been thinking about losing weight for some time but after seeing that picture, I knew that I actually had to do something about it. I was in such bad condition that I was unable to walk and talk at the same time.
So, after viewing the image, he drastically changed his diet of cakes, potato chips, biscuits and takeaway foods, for healthier foods like salads, fruits, fibrous vegetables, and protein-rich foods. He also started working out three days per week.
This is how Mr Mewse looks now...
He went from a morbidly obese 21st 3Ib to an amazing 14 stone, by making these lifestyle changes.
Isn't that a wonderful result?
Mr Mewse adds,
If I can do this, anybody can - I'm just an ordinary bloke. I feel much healthier now.
I often recommend that clients focus on an image of themselves when they were thinner, to help motivate their weight loss efforts. There are even websites dedicated to this idea, where you can create a virtual thin version of yourself.
Seeing an image of your body at its ideal weight is a powerful motivator. But, as Mr Mewse demonstrated, the opposite can also be true.
So, if you've got a goal to lose weight, which is more motivating for you -- a thin image, or seeing yourself at your heaviest?
