Most of us who are overweight are reluctant to confront reality,
particularly about the way we look. But there's a familiar battle that
goes on in our heads...'this is who I am, why should I change?' vs 'I'm
desperate to change, what can I do... help!'
Most of us who are overweight are reluctant to confront reality, particularly about the way we look. But there's a familiar battle that goes on in our heads...'this is who I am, why should I change?' vs 'I'm desperate to change, what can I do... help!'
When we reach this stage, both our self-esteem and our self- confidence is not in very good shape. We tend to be very unhappy with ourselves and with the world in general. All this has a very profound effect on how others see us and on our ability to perform at work and deal with relationships.
It's really about self-image. How we see ourselves is so very important. Our image of ourselves is what we believe others see. It is very rarely the case. Why? Because we tend to thin the worse about our looks and think the worst of ourselves. We seldom see ourselves in a positive light particularly when we are overweight.
So how can this situation be put right? The first thing to do is to convince yourself that you are going to do something about your weight. The second thing is to take action. However it is inadvisable to go on a diet or you will end up doing your self-esteem a great deal of harm. This is because if you go on a diet there is more than a 95% chance that you will put the weight back on again, which would have a negative effect on your self esteem.
How do you go about losing weight? You have to get rid of the bad habits that have made you overweight. How do you do this? By developing healthier lifestyle habits. This is the only way to attain permanent weight loss.
