Its an interesting concept, one that I have heard and read about in various forms over the years. The thought is that to be a thin person, one should act like a thin person. Of course, that is easier said than done for many, lucky for us that Rachel Young has figured it out.
Rachel has lost over 80 pounds, thats right...80 pounds! All through a method she learned while growing up in Japan called "kaizen". In her words...
You see, the Japanese use the term “kaizen” to describe small steps that can be taken to achieve
large goals. I used this concept to learn the language (speaking and writing), to try and discover
new local foods, to live and love the country I was being raised in.
It's an easy to read, no nonsense approach, full of good advice, a unique approach to losing weight sensibly and for life, I enjoyed reading it. Those of you who know me well, know I do NOT recommend many diet books, but this is one that I can, whole heartedly! To read more about Rachel and her kaizen approach to weight loss, go to her website...
If I was thin I would be a purple belt in jiu jitsu by now. i would be able to perform all the moves right and have good technique instead of just clumsily rolling over my opponent or getting pushed off like a big fat ball and getting owned. i would be so fit, so thin, that i would never get tired and i would look in the mirror and be proud of my six pack. i would be able to play with my kids and not ashamed of walking around shirtless. i would be proud to have more respect from people (fat people get no respect at all). fat people have to overcompensate and they come off as cocky and overbearing when we're just trying to get taken seriously for crying out loud. my boss looks at me and treats me differently because i'm fat and lethargic and i can't keep up. if i was thin i would get a new job, so people could look at me more. i would get noticed more and girls would talk to me. i wouldn't be scared of the camera and id be less shy. i know women hate fat guys. fat guys get no respect unless we act like dicks and get into fights and act like douches. that's not me. i don;t like to pick on people to get respect. that's terrible. i would just be able to do so much more if i was thin, id rock climb, marathon, more jiu jitsu, etc. id be able to keep up physically with younger guys.

Large steps are overwhelming, but it's the small steps that lead down the road and make progress. They are also habit-forming.
