Your mind is more powerful than you know

"Fat thinking" is the main reason you have been screwing up. Your only hope is to learn how to control and direct the power of your mind to serve you. What choice do you have? You have seen the results of letting your mind work against you all these years every time you step on the scale or look in the mirror.

Your mind got you into this mess and only your mind can get you out of it. This book will show you how.

Individual and employer consequences of obesity

1.  A Statistics Canada analysis found that obese Canadians are four times more likely to have diabetes, 3.3 times more likely to have high blood pressure and 56% more likely to have heart disease than those with healthy weights. GPI Atlantic Ron Coleman PhD. 2001

2.  For a firm with 1,000 employees, obesity would cost about $285,000 a year. RTI International Health, Social and Economics Research and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Eric Finkelstein Sept. 2005.

3.  The average absence for a worker who files an obesity-related STD claim is 45 days. Those 10% of employees who are out on short-term disability leave consume more than 50% of an employer’s healthcare dollars. Employers can help employees take the first steps. By so doing, they stand to save billions of dollars annually. Equally important, they stand to improve the health and productivity of their employees. Dr. Leopold Vice President and National Medical Director for MetLife Disability. Aug. 2 2004

4. "Obesity is clearly an issue for employers." "It's a problem that's not going away ... and employers have to find ways to help rein in those costs." James Early. Director of Clinical Preventive Medicine for the University of Kansas School of Medicine Nov. 7 2007

5.  Obesity causing problems in Canada's workplaces - The odds of being absent from work are almost four times higher for obese young men than for those with normal weight. Obese workers often have problems with fatigue and physical limitations, which can result in an injury. They may not wear personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, because they don't fit or are uncomfortable to wear. Fri. Feb. 20 2009 CTV – quoting a report from Statistics Canada.
