Weight Loss and The Stress Factor
By Eva Moffat
If you are overweight, you will be aware
of this and you will feel that you are not
very nice to look at and so your self-esteem
will take a tumble.
Adverts on the television and in the newspapers
and magazines all seem to show these young
peoples who look like a good meal would do
them the world of good.
Personally, I have looked like I
was ten months pregnant for many years
and was often devastated when feeling
like I looked good, then someone would
ask me if I was pregnant. I’m still being
asked if I’m pregnant and I’m now 66 years
old. Then after years of exercises for
my tummy and a lightened purse through
buying the latest ‘Tummy Flattener’ I
have now found out that with having Irritable
Bowel Syndrome (IBS) my swollen tummy
is just one of the unpleasant signs and
symptoms of that disease. I’m sure I’m
not alone with this problem and if you
have a swollen tummy, maybe I’ve just
given you a reason or excuse for it.
But I know from the above experience,
if you are not a Twiggy, you have a feeling
of being different and so not as attractive
as you would like to be. This causes stress.
Stress is a form of worrying. That old
saying that worry brings wrinkles...
well it can do can’t it? If you are worried
/ stressed you will frown more than you
smile. Another useless piece of information
for you, stored in my memory box for many
years, when you smile you use only thirteen
of your facial muscles; but when you frown
you use thirty-nine. So stop tiring yourself
out by frowning.
It is only when you realise that you
are overweight and that you can lose weight,
then and only then is when you will do
something about it.
It’s no use blaming it on your glands
or your ancestors, if you are overweight
you must accept full responsibility. You
have been in the habit of taking in more
calories than you have used up with some
activity.
So to save yourself being too stressed,
decide to do something about it and lose
weight.
Now to go back to your being overweight
and the stress factor. You will only feel
better about yourself when you go on a
weight loss programme. As the pounds and
inches start to disappear, so your good
feelings about yourself will increase.
