Is Losing Weight Becoming Too Much of An Uphill Battle?

VickieChampion writes "By: Vickie Champion

You may think just shedding those extra pounds would be satisfying. Sure, it would be nice to fit into smaller clothes and be able to cross your legs without a great deal of pain. But the question is, "If getting rid of that excess fat was so satisfying, why do I gain it back?"

It may be because of what losing weight really means:

• Your life revolves around things you think you need to do, like following the latest diet, counting fat grams, reading food labels, weighing food, exercising, taking pills or even preparing for surgery. Not only do these tasks take lots of energy, but they also steer you away from doing things that give you pleasure and that you thoroughly enjoy.

• Your thoughts focus on what you think you should look like. This leaves little room for accepting and loving yourself the way you are.

• You spend your time comparing yourself with others or yesterday's weight with today's. Comparison results in either feeling superior or inferior, neither of which is very pleasant.

• You put many things in your life on hold until you are satisfied with your looks. Waiting to lose weight delays happiness now.

• You might buy into the latest research and peer pressure, not letting your inner guide be the decision maker.

Now, take a moment and look deep inside. Don't you really want to be released from sacrifice, guilty feelings and the constant obsession about food? Wouldn't it be nice to not fret over what to eat, when and how much? Or no longer fear what food might do to you if you eat it? Essentially, wouldn't you rather be happy?

You have to get to the point that you are so exhausted from changing your behavior and waiting for that perfect figure, you are willing to change the way you think. The first step is to decide that what you want from losing weight is to be happy. Only when that happens will you allow yourself to stop fighting the uphill battle and begin to find peace.
