A few weeks ago I shared some easy weight loss math:

3500 Calories = 1 pound of fat

10 minutes of aerobic activity = about 100 calories burned

500 calories less (through changes in eating or exercise) per day = 1 pound lost per week

When it is all spelled out like that, it seems so easy and straightforward, doesn’t it? but we all know it isn’t quite that simple. because making it all happen consistently – the exercise, the healthy eating – is hard!

Have you ever wondered why you lose weight, only to sabotage yourself and put the weight best back on? before you get angry, frustrated and discouraged with yourself, give yourself some compassion because here may be a few reasons why you’re doing it.

While you may think it’s natural to want to lose excess weight, have you ever thought of what those extra pounds may be providing? numerous people, whether they realize it or not, keep weight on…on purpose. There are numerous reasons for this.

1) Weight can offer a protective barrier – remember when you used to hide behind your mom’s leg when you were scared? You may be using the excess weight to offer that same protection for you now. maybe there are reasons why looking or feeling sexy or attractive brings about worry or discomfort for you, so keeping the weight on prevents those unpleasant feelings from arising.

2) Being overweight is comfortable – another reason you may keep weight on is because you’re uncertain or unpleasant with the expectations that may be placed on you with a new, fit, sexy body. At your current weight, you know what’s expected of you and there’s a sense of familiarity with it all. These feelings may be simpler to deal with than the discomfort of the unknown; even if what’s familiar is being overweight and unhappy.

3) Partners in crime – Still another reason you may be keeping weight on may involve a partner. maybe eating together is a connection you both have or cooking together is an activity you both share. rather than risk breaking that bond, you continue the activity and practices you’ve developed to maintain that connection.

4) Being attractive could be a risk – Yet another reason may have to finish with the risk a partner may feel if your weight loss implies much more attention from the opposite sex, higher self esteem and a greater sense of self confidence. possibly your spouse or partner is insecure, jealous and feels threatened by what your new look and improved self confidence may bring. instead of working through those issues, numerous women find it’s simpler to keep the weight on to avoid “rocking the boat” with their partner.

5) practices are hard to break – another reason we may keep the weight on has to finish with your habits. You may eat the same foods, at the same times, in the same places from day to day. These practices you’ve created are now deeply ingrained within you; they’re a habitual part of your daily routine. For example, maybe you’ve grown used to skipping breakfast, grabbing a fast food lunch, coming home to eat a big dinner and unwinding in front of the TV at the end of a long day with a bag of potato chips. While these practices may be familiar, they can play a significant role in keeping extra weight on.

I’ve worked with numerous mothers who’ve lost weight, then find a way to sabotage their weight loss efforts and rapidly acquire it best back. While often it’s a question of creating healthier practices to get the weight off once and for all, in some cases it’s essential to dig deep and see if there’s a reason why you’ve been intentionally keeping the weight on. Of course, if you discover something too challenging to work through alone, you may need to get additional support.

Just because something has been a certain way for a while, doesn’t imply it has to stay that way if it doesn’t work for you anymore. You can make any change to your thoughts, actions and practices in purchase to slowly and gently discover your best self. It starts with awareness and the desire to change something that’s not working for you.

Do you have a story about how you have found a way to conquer obstacles in your life or relationships to relocation along the path to a healthier life? If so, I would love to hear about it! Please leAVE तल एक टिप्पणी तल वा डेबिकोकच.क.
