Best Way To Lose Weight? Have Skinny Friends!
If you are overweight, it's probably true to say that you don't like criticism about your weight. You don't much like those critical looks either. They're uncomfortable and they make you feel different. The truth is that in time you develop a bit of a thick skin and learn to switch off. What you don't want to know about you erect barriers to protect yourself.
To feel more comfortable and to avoid critical looks and comments, overweight people like to mix with other overweight people. They feel safer and shielded from criticism.
In the company of like sized people there is no criticism and in some cases there is almost an endorsement of the way they are. Perhaps it's the slim people who have a problem!
Overweight people keeping each other's company can have other implications. Not only is there a feeling of endorsement, but being overweight can become contagious too. Being overweight can become the accepted norm. This is where it starts to get dangerous because the reality of the very real health risks associated with being overweight get completely forgotten. What to do? You can't just get rid of all your overweight friends. Being aware of the problem will be a great help.
Another reason why overweight people stay together is that they are just tired of trying to lose weight. Nothing works, so they throw in the towel, give up the unequal struggle and enjoy each other's company.
It's unfortunate, but the reality is that diets do not make you slim. You can lose weight on a diet, but the weight will always come back again as sure as night follows day. The way to lose weight permanently is to make change. If you make change by learning new habits, slim habits, you can achieve what all overweight or obese people dream of...permanent weight loss! - 17273
