How to motivate yourself to reduce excess weight.  Some butter please?

This exercise, given by Stuart Wilde, involves going to the supermarket to the butter section, extending your arms out and holding exactly the pounds of butter that equal the excess weight that your body is carrying; for example, if your body is ten pounds overweight, then hold ten pounds of butter.  The purpose is to feel and understand the extra stress being put on the heart to deliver the blood through the body with all excess fat around.  So, do take care of your heart and be focused and determined to be at your healthy weight!
