I recently watched a very interesting TV program that featured a handful of NASA scientists. They were being interviewed about the process of landing spacecraft explorers on Mars. Being an outer space enthusiast, I love to watch things regarding our space program, so I thought I would give this a look. This show specifically dealt with the approach and landing of these vehicles, which they called EDL. EDL stands for entry, descent and landing. As soon as I heard those three words, I thought about all of you who seek to lose weight and live healthier lives. Let me explain.
For those wanting to lose weight and live a healthier life, I think we can learn a thing or two from our friends at NASA. Creating healthy change in your life requires that you follow a very similar flight path. First, there is the preparation stage that is necessary for entry into your new lifestyle. This is accomplished by clearing your shelves of junk and stocking them with the right foods. Next comes the descent stage into your new way of eating. This involves making healthier choices and fighting off the strong daily desire to return to your old eating habits. And the last stage in your new health mission involves your landing. This is where you find yourself in full control, on solid ground and at peace with this new world you have created. Weight loss and lifestyle change are tough, I agree, but it is definitely not mission impossible! So, if you’re ready to commit to this weight-loss mission, I think today is the perfect day to launch your new life.
Wishing You Great Health,
