You've got brains in your head. You've got feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
Dr. Seuss' classic book, Oh, The Places You'll Go!, is an incredible allegory* for our weight loss journey. Lets take a closer look at it to find out how we can use those principles to succeed.

Dr Seuss' Plan for Life | Your Plan for Life |
| Brains in your head and feet in your shoes | 5 & 1 Plan |
| I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you. | Life gets in our way if we let it |
| Un-slumping yourself is not easily done | Immediately get back on 5 & 1! And remember that it will take about 3 days to get back into fat burn – so choose wisely! |
| You’ll look up and down streets. Look’em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” | Just say NO! It's YOUR plan – own it! |
| How much can you lose? How much can you win? | The choice really is yours |
| Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find, for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind | Set your goal weight now and don't look back |
| Everyone is just waiting. No! That’s not for you! | You no longer are stuck. You have hope! Yes, you can turn your “inner” skinny self into your “outer” self |
| And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. | You will get scared. You will have to look yourself square in the facr and ask yourself, “Can I really do it this time?” The answer is YES, if you are a mind-maker-upper! |
| Step with care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. | You will always be making choices. Make sure your choice supports YOUR goal |
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
Kid, you’ll move mountains!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!
