If you’ve struggled with your weight, you understand firsthand that every aspect of your life can be negatively impacted by extra pounds.
Most people know that being overweight creates a host physical health complications, such as:
- Increased risk of many cancers
- Diabetes
- Sleep Apnea
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Stroke
- Heart Disease
- Fatty Liver Disease
However, many people aren’t aware that being overweight also has a substantial impact on a person’s emotional well-being. Depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, strained relationships, and social isolation are all common among people who are struggling with their weight. In fact, in a recent study at Yale University, obese children rated their quality of life as low as that of adolescent cancer patients.
We live in a world that’s hooked on getting an adrenaline fix. That’s why shows like The Biggest Loser are so popular. It’s impressive to see huge amounts of weight loss in such a short period of time, and the show is great at documenting the dramatic before and after shots as the people go through the process of weighing in each week.
However, what programs such as The Biggest Loser don’t address are the underlying thoughts and beliefs that cause weight gain, and the emotional damage done by years of living as an overweight person. The reality is that, in order to sustain long-term weight loss, you need a comprehensive weight loss program that teaches the physical and emotional skills necessary for weight loss.
