Mediterranean Diet - Wonderful & Lousy Reasons for Losing Weight
Lousy Reasons to Lose Weight "I want to be a size 0." "You can never be too thin." "I want to fit into the same clothes I wore in high school." "I want to be a waif." "People will see me as more glamorous." "People will see me as more childlike." "Thin people are more popular." "I want to look like a model." "Every one else is underweight." "I want higher cheek bones." "People will be nicer to me if I am smaller." "Other people tell me I look fat even though I am within the ideal body weight limits." "If I lose all of the weight for good, maybe I can stop throwing up after I eat once and for all." If any of the comments above resemble your own rationale for losing weight then you don't have a weight problem. But you may well have a psychological problem. You simply might not be mentally or emotionally prepared to handle any weight loss problem. Consult with a qualified therapist to get to the bottom of this issue in case its a cognitive disorder. A cognitive disorder is when someone suffers from a distorted view of herself, the world or how others see her. Wonderful Reasons to Lose Weight I want to climb stairs without losing my breath.

I want to stop avoiding my reflection in shop windows and mirrors. I want to go swimming and feel comfortable in a swim suit. I want to go on rides in an amusement park.
