Tips to lose weight
Just be yourself
The human race is like all kinds of licorice, you never know what you are going to get. There are as many personalities as there are people and there are a variety of shapes and sizes. Therefore, it is accepting who you are but at the same time changing what you can change.
You may not have control over your build, but you can choose what you put in your mouth. You may not have control over the talents you have been given, but you have control over what you do with what you have been given.
The world places unrealistic expectations on people and especially on young women. They are expected to look as glamorous as those featured in women’s fashion magazines. Is it any wonder so many women suffer from low self-esteem?
If women think that they have too much pressure on them to look as fabulous as a Hollywood star, many of them hope that men have the perfect physical body. Let me tell you my story:
I’ve always been skinny; Throughout my life I have met women from time to time who say “You are too skinny” and so on. Once a young woman told me about her boyfriend and how he takes care of himself. He had a good physical body. She was attacking me. At the time, he was running more than six miles a day and competing in track and field every weekend. Sometimes both on Saturday and Sunday.
As with all the comments that have been made about me being skinny, I have never felt offended or suffered an inferiority complex or low self-esteem because of it. My form has never bothered me. I just accepted him for who I am.
Objective…
I can understand why women have their self esteem tied to their weight when there is so much pressure on them to have a pretty figure, but what they are really doing is living to please others instead of accepting who they really are.
It is important to accept who you are and not let your body shape determine your self-esteem.
You also shouldn’t allow the comments of others to determine your self-esteem. If others can’t accept who you are, that’s their problem, not yours.
The bottom line is that you can only live your life according to your own circumstances and not compare yourself to others because it will be similar to comparing apples to pears.
Your worth is not determined by what others say about you. It is not determined by your dress size or your achievements. You may see the achievements of high-profile athletes being applauded on television, but all of this will pass. There are thousands of forgotten heroes that society takes for granted but who do their job day after day without complaint and without even a modest applause.
My suggestion is to focus on a “healthy eating” mindset rather than “losing weight”.
It is much easier to achieve a goal based on what you eat and how much you eat rather than losing weight.
Like all things in life worth striving for, losing weight takes effort and sacrifice and only you can decide if the result was worth it.
