The Truth About Excess Skin | The Dr. Oz Show - 0 views

  • The Truth About Excess Skin
    • mayaeri
       
      I predict that the article will be about how being overweight gives you excess skin
  • Where my stomach, legs and arms had previously been distended with fat, there was now some excess skin. Over a period of time, some of this firmed up with concentrated cardio and weight training, but only to a certain point. After 12 years and 4 more babies, it is as good as it’s going to get.
  • Does it bother me? A bit. Would I not have lost the weight had I known about the excess skin? No. It doesn't bother me that much, and the benefits of not weighing 300 pounds certainly outweigh any cosmetic issues. The issues I have are minor compared with the issues
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • There are people who have had gastric bypass surgery and lost tons of weight so quickly that their skin doesn't rebound at all. In those cases, plastic surgery may be a necessity, not just an option.
  • The skin is not attractive externally, but in some ways it reminds me of where I was and where I never want to go again. Don't be frightened by the prospect of excess skin if you have a large amount of weight to lose. If the skin bothers you, cosmetic surgery is an option that although pricey, offers very nice results.
    • mayaeri
       
      Excess skin is something that comes along with weight loss yes there is skin reducing cream but also there are surgeries that are there but during weight loss there is not much dodging of excess skin

      Nobody knows why the Megalodon kept growing over evolutionary time but because of their massive size it could have made them more vulnerable to extinction                     
  • Megalodon could grow up to 60 feet (18 meters) long and had a bite more powerful than that of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
  • The sea monsters terrorized the oceans from about 16 million to 2 million years ago.
  • Though that may seem like a long reign, other shark species have survived for 50 million years
  • Bigger animals can eat a wider range of foods and be fiercer predators than their pip-squeak pals. But because they eat more types of animals they also have more competition for those animals, and the ecosystem can support a lower population density of them since they need more resources — including space — to survive. When food supplies dwindled, these giant creatures could have had a tough time finding enough food

What is your self-identity? - 1 views

  • Your self-identity was constructed in childhood.
    • citoking
       
      I Agree With this because you learn from what you grow up watching.
  • Your conscious identity makes the choices you are aware of, while your subconscious mind drives habitual healthy, and unhealthy behaviors.
  • Your self-identity is how you see yourself based on what you find similar to you consciously, and unconsciously.

      The author is stating the obvious
  • An identity is a constellation of characteristics that determine who a person is
  • Children are born without awareness of being a separate individual; you don’t have an identity to begin with!
    • citoking
       
      Social interactions
  • You need feedback to be aware of yourself.
  • Feedback serves as a mirror that reflects who you are being.
  • Mirroring and self-images
  • Self-images are constructed from important similar events that happened many times. These events were important because they involved people we trusted and needed to help us satisfy our core needs for safety, nurturing attention (love, belonging), and mirroring back our value etc.
    • citoking
       
      It seems as if they are explaining that your true colors will show around people you know you can trust such as your family
  • For example, if I was praised for “good performances” I would tend to see myself as intelligent (a positive self-image), and I would tend to see that in others, AND if was told I was stupid for making mistakes, I would learn to fear making mistakes because it means that I’m stupid (a negative self-image).

The 10 Ways To Achieve Success In Both Business And Life - 0 views

  • In life, like in business, you have the people who are out there living it to the fullest and the bystanders letting it pass them by. You have the people who sit around and mope all day about how miserable their lives are, then you have the people who are out there crossing things off their bucket lists on a regular basis.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      This is so true, and I don't want to be one of those people who just let life go on without actually living my life and exploring all over the world.
  • Success is more than an idea, it is a state of mind. Although success is relative to each individual, the key to achieving success is the demeanor in which you go about living your life and taking advantage of opportunities that come to you.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      Ambitious thinking and being able to see that you deserve more than what you have.
  • Whether it be in life or in business, you should never take anything for granted and you should learn how to make the most of the situations that are presented to you.

  • There is no way to turn this instinct on or off; however, when you realize you are in a tough situation, your gut feeling is the most trusted way to go.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      When you have a gut feeling that you should't do something and you do it anyway and something bad happens. This happens to me all the time, from now on i will be listening to that gut feeling.
  • If your gut is giving you a negative feeling about a particular person or situation, then it would be best not to question it
  • People love to be in their comfort zones, once we find a particular way of doing things, we are very reluctant to change the way we go about it. However, times do change and it’s important that we keep an open mind when it comes to new ideas and ways of thinking.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      Change isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes you get exposed to things you never thought would happen. However, you should always keep a open mind.
  • This is especially true when it comes to the way you go about living your life. Don’t try to force your beliefs onto others. Just because something works for you doesn’t mean it will work for someone else
  • Have an open mind when it comes to understanding the new technologies out there; it will help you keep up with the times.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      When wanting to achieve successful you must open your mind to many options out their. Even things you had doubt in before.
  • Great success is coupled with great responsibility. Do not take your success for granted. You may have worked hard for what you achieved, but know that you are now in a position to help those who are less fortunate. Now this doesn’t mean you have to give away everything you have to people less fortunate, but it wouldn’t hurt you to give a helping hand.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      This is so true sometime, people become successful and forget to help out the needy or even try to help someone be at the same position in life like they are in. Helping others bring good karma. Thinking about others is always a good thing.
  • There are people who will never get the same opportunities as you. Help open up doors for these people, it will not only show others the importance of helping out, but it will also make you feel good about yourself.

      So true

  • While Self Esteem is a general state of mind, it is affected by changes in any one of the various feelings that make it up.  For example a drop in confidence will lower Self Esteem in the short term.
  • If you do not have a boundary about yelling, the person will yell at you … and you will feel according to your world view that they do not respect you and will lose Self Esteem.
  • A gap can be defined as a hole in your boundary.  It is a lack of a preference or rule you have about yourself or your behavior or your place in the world.

      This statement is true, with a positive attitude and ambitious mind you are capable of achieving anything. 
  • 30% of all people will never believe you. Do not allow your colleagues and employees to work for you. Instead, let them work for a common goal.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      Sometimes when people doubt you that doesn't mean you can't achieve your goals. Doubt only push me to get to the point i want to be in. 
  • A leader should be a visionary and have more foresight than an employee. A leader should have higher grit and tenacity, and be able to endure what the employees can’t. A leader should have higher endurance and ability to accept and embrace failure.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • The quality of a good leader therefore is his vision, tenacity, and his capability.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      This statement is true. You must have a clear vision of what you want and nothing can get in your way of that.
  • One should always understand that money and political power can never go hand in hand. Once you are in politics, don’t ever think about money anymore. Once you are running a business, don’t ever think of being involved in politics.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      This is a good advice. Because politics is something I don't like getting involved in.
  • What is failure: Giving up is the greatest failure. What is resilience: Once you have been through hardships, grievances and disappointments, only then will you understand what is resilience.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      Failure should only push you to not make the same mistake once. However, failure should never stop you from what you want. It should only motivate you more.
  • Only fools use their mouth to speak. A smart man uses his brain, and a wise man uses his heart.
  • I always tell myself that we are born here not to work, but to enjoy life. We are here to make things better for one another, and not to work. If you are spending your whole life working, you will certainly regret it.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      I always tell myself that I am not in the point of my life where I want to be. What I have now I deserve more. And my mindset only makes me grind harder for what I deserve.
  • No matter how successful you are in your career, you must always remember that we are here to live. If you keep yourself busy working, you will surely regret it.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      I see people born and die in the same place. Never felt their country just worked their whole life to live a life thats not really living. You must explore see whats out there. 
  • Those that compete aggressively with one another are the foolish ones. If you view everyone as your enemies, everyone around you will be your enemies.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      I believe no one can really get to the top by their self, you always need someone with connects. Being anti-social won't get you anywhere. Being social and kind to people will make people want to help you and see you achieve the best.
  • Competition is similar to playing a board of chess. If you lose, we can always have another round. Both players should never fight.
  • A real businessman or entrepreneur has no enemies. Once he understand this, the sky’s the limit.
  • Adopt and change before any major trends or changes.
  • Forget the money; Forget about earning money. Rather than having small smart tricks to get by, focus on holding on and persevering. Your attitude determines your altitude.
  • Today is cruel, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be beautiful.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      Never let a bad day or the past ruin your future. What happened yesterday is yesterday there is always room for change.
  • If you do not know where your competitor is, or overconfident and snobbish about your competitor, or are unable to comprehend how your competitor became a real threat, you will surely fall behind him. Don’t be the “they” in this idiom: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      Never worry about the next person, worrying about the next person will only make you be less than that person
  • Even if your competitor is still small in size or weak, you should take him seriously and treat him as a giant. Likewise, even if your competitor is massive in size, you shouldn’t regard yourself as a weakling.
    • Ruth Mitchell
       
      This source is very helpful. It basically told me the does and don'ts in the industry. In order to succeed you must have a positive attitude and be very ambitious. Also to never let failure hold you back. It should only push you harder to grind for what you want. There's always going to be someone trying to compete with you but, pay no mind to competition. However, never underestimate others just don't focus on what there doing.
