Weight Loss to Have a Happy Life
When you are overweight, you suffer from many ailments as well as low self-esteem, and a poor quality of life. Weight loss programs do not always address the life part, just the weight part of your problem.
Sure, you know that heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, and other serious illness are more common among overweight people, but did you know that there is a quality of life issue too?
Losing weight helps to prevent and control diseases
When you get down to a healthy weight, you are at a much-reduced chance for any of those serious diseases to affect you. With good eating and activity habits, you will remain free of the complications that being overweight causes.
You will lead a good healthy lifestyle, and that will result in good health. It will make for a much higher quality of life, as you will be able to do what you want when you want to. You will no longer have to consider your weight before you go to do something.
If you do not have your health, you do not really have anything
With poor health, you cannot do the things you desire, all you can do to satisfy those desires is to substitute food for them, which leads to even more weight problems, and therefore more unfulfilled desires. A deadly whirlpool of destruction, but you can give yourself the gift of a better life.
By choosing a weight loss program and sticking to it, you will increase your quality of life, as well as your life span. You will be able to enjoy so many more things in life, and this will lead to happiness.
With poor health, the most activity you can do is go see the doctor, with good health you can go and do almost anything you desire to do. Of course, some things will require you to learn a skill before you do them, like mountain climbing, but you can do that if you choose to because you have your health.
Weight loss is a lifestyle change
One thing that people seem to ignore is that a weight loss program must be for life. You cannot take a pill, lose weight and keep it off. If you keep doing what you are doing you will keep getting what you have now. To achieve something different you will have to do something different.
Pick a weight loss plan that you think you can sustain for the rest of your life. Do you think you could only eat tofu and eggplant everyday for the rest of your life? Probably not, look for something that offers a variety of recipes and choices in food. You are going to change the way you eat, and you are going to change it for life.
Choose an activity you like
Exercise in the gym is just too overwhelming for someone just starting out to change their life. Choose something easy like walking, dancing, or bicycling. Then when you are in much better shape, you may very well choose the gym, as there are a lot of friendly people there.
Increase your daily activity; park further away from the store so you can walk longer, take the stairs not the elevator, if it is a short distance walk instead of taking the car, do some extra chores around the house instead of enduring another repeat of a show. In this way, you will teach yourself to not be afraid of exerting yourself, and this will make you more likely to lose weight and keep it off.
