Body scan of a 250 lbs woman vs a 120 lbs woman
Ladies and Gentlemen this IS motivation for weight loss!!!
Have you seen this body scan of a 250 lbs woman versus a 120 lbs woman?
The difference is simply shocking.
When you look at the two scans you quickly see the following on the scan of the overweight woman:
> Her stomach is much larger
> Her head is larger
> Her shoulders are really wide
> She’s essentially twice the size of the 120 lbs woman
> Her hips are much wider apart (which explains why overweight women have a lot of difficulty walking)
> Look at the spine at the back of her head!
> Look at how far apart her feet are due to the weight around her tights and knees
> Her ankles are bent (which could be due to the extra weight)
If you’re looking for motivation to lose weight … I’d say this is a really good reason to start taking healthy eating and adopting a healthy lifestyle (aka exercise regularly) VERY seriously!
By the way, this story is running wild on the net and it’s another reminder that being overweight is not that healthy!
>>> I’d love to hear from you on this one. What do you think about the two scans?

Link Money,
Thanks for the support!
I do hope this post really opens a lot of people’s eyes to what carrying a lot of weight does to your internal organs.
I wanted to get the information out as quickly as possible so I didn’t spend a lot of time writing a long post because in this case an image is worth 1000 words!

Wow – that is pretty incredible. The bones look like they are under serious pressure. And it looks like the bladder is being squashed! That can’t be a sustainable way to live. I’m definitely going to share this on my site.
Thanks,
Kimberly

Now, that’s scary!!!! A picture does speak a 1,000 words and the proof IS in the pudding.
Being overweight or obese just magnifies the risk of developing debilitating and life-threatening diseases. These images really help to bring things into focus. Thanks, Krizia.

Iris,
Indeed, this is quite scary and has created a lot of buzz among readers and on my facebook fan page.
I’ve even gotten quite a few emails from readers and friends.
You can pretend as much as you want, but when you see an image like that one you kind of have to say “yikes, what am I doing to my body”.
I hope this inspires my readers to make this decade their healthiest!

Kim,
I was also quite troubled by the bones on the scan of the woman who is 250 lbs … it really shows how much pressure the extra weight adds to your frame.
Thanks for dropping by.

This is totally and completely shocking. I mean talk about a wake up call. I’m going to need all he help and support I can get until I can consistently walk this out. I’m killing myself.

Khiana,
Do not worry about the support! That’s why I’m here.
I’m actually looking at creating a more formal support group to help all my readers.
This post has really beena wake-up call for a lot of readers (men and women).
I’ve said it before … you can pretend as much as you want, but this image speaks volumes and it’s quite shocking.
If I can help you with your goals, do let me know.
I will have in the coming weeks a survey on the site so that people can let me know what kind of support they need.
Thanks for your feedback.!

Are those fatty deposits in the obese woman’s brain?

AJ,
I didn’t even see that until you pointed that out!
OMG – it could very well be. I’m not a doctor and have no medical background so I’m not sure, but I’ll see if a medical doctor can answer that question.
Thanks for your comment and participation.

yes, that is pretty shocking. It shouldn’t be but when are forced to look at the differences, it’s pretty awful. But is it enough?
