Walk, Cycle or Drive?

This nice little image sets the scene for a question to ask yourself before you go anywhere. And that question is 'Shall I Walk, Cycle or Drive to my destination?"

Walking and Cycling are the ones which run on your fat and saves you money.

Where as Driving runs on money and makes you fat.

To me this bit of information is a game changer in relation to changing our behaviour to aid weight loss.

I hope, like me, you can see how this question can effect your weight loss.

Kind regards

Fuel in Car - Weight Loss Metaphor

Metaphors are fantastic ways to help us look at a subject in a slightly different way by applying one of life's function to another. In this case linking the fuel in the car to a healthy lifestyle in which we can lose weight.

Think of the body like a well oiled machine, like a car, all parts working in harmony with each other, each knowing their function and performing it well. Imagine this beautiful machine at it's very best, being looked after and cared for. If you start to mistreat the machine, giving it low grade fuel, letting it sit idle for a while imagine how this can impact the machine. continue to see the beauty in your machine and feed it the oil it needs and take it out for a zip now and again.

Metaphors can be a powerful way of encouraging the subconscious mind to think in a new way and help us lose weight and keep it off.

I will share more weight loss metaphors with you all over the coming weeks.

Take care.
