Here comes the Goodies Bandit. What are you hiding?

Most bandits are bad. Some become heroes, either in deed or in memory. Ned Kelly is the first that comes to mind. Robin Hood is another. The Goodies Bandit is setting out to be one. What he will take from you will be painful. It will be felt. There will be withdrawals. But. After a short while, you will feel better, have more energy, drop sizes. Because as good as goodies are to eat. We know they are not good. To the extreme they are killing you.

Done with being fat? Tried many diets. You know you need something else.

"Years ago, Tufts University invited me to lecture during a symposium on obesity…

Lecturer after lecturer offered solutions for America’s obesity problem, all of which revolved around education. Americans would be thinner if only they knew about good nutrition and the benefits of exercise, they told us. Slimming down the entire country was possible through an aggressive public awareness campaign…

When it was my turn to speak, I couldn’t help beginning with an observation. “I think it is fascinating that the other speakers today have suggested that education is the answer to our country’s obesity problem,” I said. I slowly gestured around the room. “If education is the answer, then why hasn’t it helped more of you?”

There were audible gasps in the auditorium when I said this, quite a few snickers, and five times as many sneers. Unsurprisingly, Tufts never invited me to lecture again.’”

The Culture Code

The goal we have here is to not just educate you. I has been shown that breaking habits is more effective with accountability. Not many go out looking for accountability. It can be uncomfortable, vunerable, embarassing. But it is worth it.

Let people know you are going to change. Let them see as you do it. And you will do it.
