Loving yourself is the cure to obesity

Obesity is a growing health problem affecting most people in our society. The incidence of obesity has increased dramatically over the past ten years. It entails a very serious health risk as it may lead to physical and psychological problems.

In our society today, people render unwelcome environment to obese people with the implication that they do not have the right to be happy. Being not overweight is the parameter that is set by society as our model of being healthy and beautiful which is often portrayed in mass media; however, it really occupies the other end of the spectrum of unhealthy in regards to weight. One of the obstacles in the fight against obesity is low self-esteem. Most of us force ourselves to believe that people feel good about themselves because they are thin. That is why many people starve themselves and indulge to six week diet and rigorous exercises beyond what the body can endure. Discrimination becomes inevitable everywhere梐cross different population and age groups. Thus, this make obese people try several attempts to conform to the society that refuse to label them as healthy. They commit themselves to six week diet packages and other regimens guaranteed to give them the desired weight and eventually achieve the Extreme Makeover they crave for.

To solve this 損roblem? one should first improve self-image and it is done through positive affirmations. If the six week diet package, exercise and other regimens is accompanied by optimism, it could lend a step further in achieving the desired goal. One should not dwell on self-criticism but instead reinforce on encouragement as there is nothing to be gained from putting oneself down.

Establishing a positive self-image is the right way to start losing weight the EASY WAY. Instead of being motivated by what other people think you should be, you will realize that the important thing is taking the best care possible of the beautiful person that you are. Obesity doesn抰 have to mean unhappiness and depression. Instead, turn your life around so that you love that person in the mirror regardless of the way the reflection looks.
