  • Provide weight loss support to citizens
  • Guide citizens to make healthy weight loss choices
  • Contribute to country’s overall well-being

At least 5 years of weight loss experience is required.  Previous study publication is preferred.  Spandex not required, but is a plus.

To whom it may concern,

From Superhero Magazine I learned about your need for a Weight Loss Hero.  I am very interested in this position, and I believe there would be a good fit between my skills and interests and your needs.

I am currently working as a Weight Loss Hero for healthy eaters everywhere.  I provide weight loss support by making people feel fuller because I expand in their stomach.  Not only do I help people feel fuller, I also slow the rate of stomach emptying which makes them feel fuller longer.  Dietitians and nutritionists consider me essential to weight loss.  Since I have a history with healthy foods, I frequently guide people to make healthy weight loss choices.  Although I can’t tell you the exact number of my years of experience, I have been a Weight Loss Hero since the beginning of human existence.  Attached is my resume which further outlines my qualifications.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a position with you, and am excited to hear more about the position.  Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Fiber

  1. I loved this article. I is amusing, but in a more important way, it is serious. I have been studying and researching weight loss for the last 20 years, and I know what it means to lose weight the healthy way. Let me clarify that those who get themselves hung up on diets, will fail almost everytime. Do things the natural way, and the pounds will just drop off.

  2. Mmmm, fiber! I think the younger generation (cough, me) tends to be a little grossed out by the thought of fiber…I’m glad you set the record straight here! I also agree with the above comments – water’s a great sidekick to fiber!

    • Hmm, I haven’t heard about the younger generation’s aversion to fiber. But it makes sense now that you mentioned it. I may have to glamorize it a bit more.
