Today I have a story for you:
The Dog and His Reflection
A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go.
As he crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water as if in a mirror. But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.
If he had stopped to think he would have known better. But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore.
At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realised what a stupid Dog he had been.
The moral of the story?
It’s very foolish to be greedy.
And I see this with a lot in women who are losing weight, they can be such unrealistic, ungrateful (and greedy) little madams.
They are doing great and losing a fair amount of weight, like 8-10lb a month, but for some it’s not enough.
In other words, they already have a nice bone, but want an even bigger one.
And just like the greedy dog, they often find while they’re distracted and chasing a bigger bone, they lose the nice looking bone they had to start.
So if you have greedy eyes that are NEVER really satisfied, you need to change the way you look at losing weight.
Listen, I understand, you’re a go getter, it’s ok to want fast weight loss, and be ambitious.
BUT NOT at the detriment of you feeling satisfied and HAPPY with what you have already achieved.
Deal?
Great.
