Become Healthier

The twenty-first century has taught us that we can get anything we want in the time that we want it if we
just find the right solution, and thanks to “science”, the solution does exist. But many times when we try to
find the quick fix to a problem,we never really deal with the heart of the problem. The weight loss
community has demonstrated this principle more than any other group in our world.

Consider this: hundreds of commercials and ads promise fast weight loss. Overweight or seemingly
overweight individuals dream about becoming the slender girl on the commercial who claims,”I lost 50
pounds with and you can too! In the end,though,even when the weight has come off the
side effects of what ever drug taken have waned,the now skinny individual still has the same core
problem.

We need to focus on two specific thinds instead of just weight loss: self nurturing and limitations. A lack of
both of these causes not only weight gain but immeasurable psychological problems which many attribute
to their overweight status. They think,”If only i could lose 20pounds, I would feel better about myself”.
While the loss of 20 pounds could certainly lead to a physically healthier person,that person’s mental
health suffers all the more for going untreated.

So what do we mean when we say”self nurturing”and “limitations”? An individual focused on self
nurturing understands the need to look inward,to consider motives for his actions. Why does he really
want to lose weight? What purpose does he have? What end does he want to attain? What will he feel like
once he has lost the weight? Will it change his perspective? Self nurturing results in an emotionally
balanced and connected individual,ready to take on all of life’s challenges, be they physical or emotional
weight.

Limitations seem pretty obvious when we talk about weight gain and loss, but in actuality,these refer to
more than just food intake. They refer to the limitations of life. Those focusing on their limitations will ask
themeselves if their expectations are reasonable,if their thinking is powerful and positive,and if the reward
is ultimately worth the pain they must go through to get to it. This final question matters the most when
considering a weight loss program. Many who seek quick solutions do not consider the pain,the side
effects of their weight loss. They just jump right on the diet train. Even if they seek logical lifestyle changes
that will help them lose weight healthfully,they often do not consider the full gamut of pain they must
experience to get to that particular weight they desire

Those who focus on these two skills will discover some amazing things,primarily,personal strenght. They
will have the desire to not only lose weight,but they will lose the desire to overeat. And in the end,they will
end up happier and healthier overall,physically,mentally,and emotionally.
