The Real Goals Of Weight Loss
- Hint, They Have Nothing to Do With a Bikini
Candis Edmonds, author of this Lose Weight article.
What
are the typical goals of people who want to lose weight? Ask anyone who is
trying to lose some weight this question and you will hear things like
"upcoming wedding invitation" or "bikini season is coming".
When you check back with them in about in
about a month's time and see how they are doing with their weight loss
efforts, you will usually find out that they will have fallen off the rails
and had quit trying to lose weight. Instead they are opting to either skip the
wedding invitation, reunion dinner or other social events and either wearing a
sensible black one-piece beach wear or never going to the beach again.

Now you see, if you are using a single event as a
motivation for losing weight, let me tell you that most of the time, it is not
going to work! If it does work, then every overweight person would have had
events which they would want to lose weight for, but why haven't they?
The goals of weight loss actually have to go
a little deeper and they must be a little more meaningful. And no, I do not
mean that you should be trying to make your old high school beauty contests
rivals green with envy as the motivation.

Weight Loss Goals
Goal
1 - Better Health
When you think of your excess
body weight in terms of your general health and well being, it should scare
you to death if you are overweight. Are you aware that your excess weight
could be killing off your heart, choking out your brain cells, pumelling your
liver and smothering your lungs?
Do you know how much harder your pancreas
has got to work to continually pump out insulin to your body because you are
flooding it with high glycemic foods? And, have you ever stopped to think that
your creaking, cracking and aching bones and joints would probably creak,
crack and ache a lot less if they did not have so much extra load to carry? Do
these thoughts enough to scare you enough to start losing weight?
Losing weight to gain better health
should be your top priority. Think about it this way, you would lose weight to
look good for people you see once a year at most, but you do not want to lose
weight so that you can feel good around the people you see every day? Does
that make sense? Obviously not isn't it?
When your health starts to improve when you
shed those excess poundages, you will naturally look good and healthy. So
looking good comes as a bonus.
Goal 2 - Good Mental Health
How many times have you stood in
front of the mirror and ready to tear your hair and burst into tears? Or, how
many times have you gone to a shopping mall fashion boutique and tried on
clothings only to come home feeling more miserable than you thought possible
because you are nowhere near your ideal size? It's depressing, isn't it?
Depression is a real disease that can be
exacerbated by extra body weight and one that can be brought on by it as well.
Simply put, you can become depressed if you are overweight or if you already
depressed, being overweight can make you feel even worse. So click
here and start losing weight now!
Goal #3 - Better Sexual Health
You do not have to be thin and skinny
to enjoy better sex, however if you are feeling self-conscious about your
body, then you may not be relaxed enough to enjoy close intimacy with your
love partner.
You are not going to lose all of your extra
weight in a matter of a days and you cannot deny yourself or your loved one
the pleasure of skin contact. As for the guys, being overweight can be a cause
for erectile
dysfunction.
Now think about it, making love is an
exercise too and it helps to burn calories and thus can help you to lose
weight too! Isn't that beautiful? So what are your weight loss goals?
