When you have prestige, people look up to you and listen to what you say. They may not take your advice or follow in your footsteps, but they still appreciate your accomplishments and standing.
I have prestige in the weight loss category. People tell me every day how much they envy me for losing weight in mid-life and tell me I inspire them. But generally, that inspiration is as far as it goes.
People read my books and tell me they will do what I did, but most of the time they won’t.
No one likes to hear my message of healthy eating, daily exercise, and rest. They want to stop eating, go on a crazy diet, or get surgery. Anything is better than learning how to eat and take care of yourself.
Most of the time I worked in accounting I also had prestige. I was usually in management and working with young and new people who wanted to get where I was in life. I really loved doing that work and wish sometimes I could do it now. But this weight loss thing changed the course of my life.
My son says now I should write a book called, “How to have your MBA and CPA and still be homeless in SE Asia.” He thinks it will be a best seller unlike my healthy living books.

How is your journey to better health going?
Is your fitness equipment out handy? Are you on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!
