If you need motivation to lose weight then read this story.
An overweight woman got stuck in the bath for five hours until she was freed by firemen.
Rosemarie Batey, 49, who weights 140kg, promised to lose weight after the embarrassing incident at her home in County Durham, England. She needed hospital treatment for cuts.
The grandmother of three was taking a midnight shower.
“There has been a crack in the bath since I moved in last year, so I only use the shower above it. But the crack had been getting bigger and bigger," Rosemarie told the Durham Evening Chronicle newspaper in the UK .
“I was standing under the shower and I had my left foot up to wash it when I heard a great big crack and away I went. I started falling and then slipped on all the shower cream. It all happened so quick, but I managed to turn the shower off as I fell.
“My legs went from underneath me. My back was wedged against the wall and I was stuck.”
Her 23-year-old son Stuart was asleep in bed and did not hear her cries for help until the morning, when he dialled emergency services.
Firefighters used an electronic saw to cut away the bath with Rosemarie holding a shower curtain to spare her blushes and to keep her warm.
“It’s been a wake-up call to get some beef off," she told the local newspaper.
That’s an understatement! If you’re having trouble losing weight and don’t like going to gyms, try the Fit Yummy Mummy Program you can do within the confines of your home.

Man’s Desire To Please Women!

An extract from Napoleon Hill’s "Think And Grow Rich"
Man’s greatest motivating force is his desire to please woman!
The hunter who excelled during prehistoric days, before the dawn of civilization, did so, because of his desire to appear great in the eyes of woman. Man’s nature has not changed in this respect. The "hunter" of today brings home no skins of wild animals, but he indicates his desire for her favor by supplying fine clothes, motor cars, and wealth.
Man has the same desire to please woman that he had before the dawn of civilization. The only thing that has changed, is his method of pleasing. Men who accumulate large fortunes, and attain to great heights of power and fame, do so, mainly, to satisfy their desire to please women.
Take women out of their lives, and great wealth would be useless to most men. It is this inherent desire of man to please woman, which gives woman the power to make or break a man.
The woman who understands man’s nature and tactfully caters to it, need have no fear of competition from other women. Men may be "giants" with indomitable will-power when dealing with other men, but they are easily managed by the women of their choice.
Most men will not admit that they are easily influenced by the women they prefer, because it is in the nature of the male to want to be recognized as the stronger of the species. Moreover, the intelligent woman recognizes this "manly trait" and very wisely makes no issue of it.
Aim For Success

It shouldn’t be too hard, should it? All it takes is the motivation to get out and do something to achieve it.
"Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!"
Og Mandino (1923 - 1996)
In other words don’t waste your time. We only have such a short time on earth to achieve the goals we’ve set ourselves and to achieve success you have to be willing to put in the effort.
Millions of "dreamers" from all over the world go out every week and purchase lotto or lottery tickets, hoping that their name will be the lucky one drawn out to win a fortune. What they don’t understand is that the real joy comes not from being handed money on a "silver platter", but from their own sweat and tears and earning it themselves.
You must believe in the power of your mind and your ability to achieve success. Keep in mind though that the rewards which you receive in life, material or psychic, will not come to you because of your potential, but rather through your performance.
Our lives are governed by the images in our mind, and therefore it is necessary to build images which will result in the greatest success. Once your image is established in your mind, it’s time to turn it over to the power within you so that your image will begin to materialize in your physical world. Now that’s success!
Basic Goal Setting

The basics of setting a goal is an open secret known by top-caliber athletes, successful businessmen and businesswomen and all types of achievers in all the different fields. The basics of setting goals gives you short-term and long-term motivation and focus. They help you set focus on the acquisition of required knowledge and help you to plan and organize your resources and your time so that you can get the best out of your life.
Setting clearly defined short term and long term goals will enable you to measure your progress and achieve personal satisfaction once you have successfully met your goals. Charting your progress will also enable you to actually see the stages of completion leading to the actual realization of your goals. This eliminates the feeling of a long and pointless grind towards achieving your goal. Your self-confidence and level of competence will also improve as you will be more aware of your capabilities as you complete or achieve your goals.
The basics of goal settings will involve deciding what you really want to do with your personal life and what short term and long term goals you need to achieve it. Then you have to break down goals into the smaller and manageable targets that you must complete in your way to achieving your lifetime targets. Once you have your list waste no time in tackling your goals.
A good way to have a manageable list is to have a daily and weekly set of goals. By doing this you will always be in the position of going towards your life plan goals. Everyday will give you the opportunity to fulfill a certain goal giving you the feeling of accomplishment.
Here are some pointers that should be taken into consideration in setting goals and achieving them.
Attitude plays a very big role in setting and achieving your goals. You must ask yourself if any part of you or your mind is holding you back towards completing your simplest goals? Is there any part of your behavior that is being a hindrance or puts your plans into disarray? If you do have problems in these areas then the immediate thing to do is to address this problem. Solutions may include a visit to a doctor or psychiatrist to control your emotions.
Careers are made by good time management practice. Failing in a career is often attributed to bad time management. Careers require a lot from an individual which often makes the career the life of the individual. Plan how far you want to go into your career.
Education is key in achieving your goals. If your goals require you to have a certain kind of degree or require a certain specialization or demand a certain skill to be developed, make plans in getting the appropriate education.
Your family should never be left out of your plans. If you are just starting out then you have to decide if you want to be a parent or when you want to be a parent. You also have to know if you really would be a good parent and how well would you relate to extended family members.
Personal financial situations also play a major role in achieving your goals. Have a realistic goal on how much you really want to earn. You also must be able to create plans or stages by which you will be able to reach your earning potential.
Physically gifted individuals may be able to achieve sports related goals like being in the National Basketball Association or National Football League. Determining your physical capabilities should be one of your priorities. Physical limitations could however be conquered with proper planning.
As the saying goes -’All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’, or something to that effect, is by all means true down to the last the letter. Giving yourself a little pleasure should be included into your plans.
To start achieving your lifetime goals, set a quarter of a century plan, then break it down to 5 year plans then break it down again to 1 year plans, then 6 month plans then monthly plans, then weekly, then daily.
Then create a things-to-do list for the day.
Always review your plans and prepare for contingencies.
The basics of goal setting should not be so difficult once you get the hang of it.
