When the Ostriches lay down and when hiding from predators, the birds put their heads and necks flat on the ground.
Contrary to popular belief however, Ostriches do not bury their heads in sand when facing a problem or threat. This myth was generated centries ago and still hangs on. This is a myth and totally untrue.
We could use that myth however, when considering the overweight, obese and morbidity obese. Sticking our head in the sand implies that we are avoiding the inevitable need to do something about our overweight condition. We in the US are quickly becoming a nation of overweight populace.
I know of one acquaintance that had started a construction business. This 40 year old fellow was 5'-8" tall and of normal average weight. In the construction world work normally starts early in the morning. When lunch time comes everyone is ready and hungry. Lunch time can become a real pitfall if you're not careful. What they would do is rotate around looking for the all-you-can-eat establishments at a cheap price. So they would go to all you can eat pizza, Mexican and many others. Lunch time was filling up time at low cost.
This fellow in a very short while gained around 150 pounds on top of his normal weight of 170 pounds. He could hardly move around. He got out of breath quickly and had to buy new clothes etc. Yes with all the variety of choices of pizza and pizza deserts he was filling up and beyond daily. Then in the Mexican all you can eat establishments he savored everything presented at the buffet bar. He was an overweight man heading for physical problems. He had his head in the sand as it were.
I was totally amazed to see him about six months later trimmed down and lost all of his excess weight. I asked - How did you lose your weight? He told me that he and the crew still go to all those all you can eat places at lunch time. He realized that he was harming himself and decided to not over eat. So he disciplined himself to eat normal portions and no more. The results of his self disciplining brought him back to good health once again. All of his excess weight gradually burned off in his labor intensive work days. All overweight persons can do the same above for themselves.
