"Self-Image Important To Your Weight Loss"
Several days ago on television, a famous singer
was talking about his weight loss and the battles
he had fought keeping it off. One thing he said
that struck me was... "No matter how much weight I
lose, I STILL see myself as OVERWEIGHT."
Our self image is so very important while losing
and maintaining our weight. We all can probably
relate to what the singer is saying. Being
comfortable with yourself, at whatever stage of
weight loss you are in, is fundamental. This can
actually be our biggest challenge of all.
We all want to lose weight to look better, but it
is not the be-all - end-all of weight loss. The
other benefits such as feeling great, being
healthy, and just knowing that you are a
beautiful, unique, wonderful human being is so
much more important.
Be kind to yourself when you look at yourself in
the mirror and see that great person you know is
looking back... and not as someone OVERWEIGHT.
Think about all the people who depend on you each
day for that smiling face.... And, smile back!
