This slides set outlines the findings of a new study showing that 1 in 3 avoid the truth about themselves. Especially when it comes to their weight, but has wider implications...

1. 1 in 3 Avoid
The Truth

2. The truth
about
ourselves
can be scary,
inconvenient
or
unsettling.

3. The Advanced Performance Institute has just
completed a study of 1,000 people that finds:
More than one
third are so
reluctant to
discover the
truth that they
actively avoid
it!

4. We find:
36% of people are so
reluctant to discover the
truth about their weight
that they only use their
scales to weigh things like
their suitcases before they
go on vacation or check
weights of parcels or their
pets, and never actually
weigh themselves!

5. Maybe 1/3 are
simply happy
with their
weight?
No, main
reason was:

6. “Because I am
afraid to learn
the truth about
my weigh”.

7. We need to be better
at facing the facts.
It might be
uncomfortable to face
the truth but it is the
start from where you
can change things.

8. Some prefer to put their head in the sand, but is
ignorance really bliss?
No, we need to:
Face the facts and deal with them!
