Obsessing Over Weight Loss

The world is filled with constant reminders of methods for
weight loss; exercise programs, diet plans, pills, etc. Losing weight seems to be something that is
on the forefront of many consumers’ minds.
Are all these messages and thoughts somehow creating a negative impact
on personal weight goals?
For example, I know some people who never discuss ‘feeling
fat’ or ‘needing to lose weight’ and they are in great shape. It’s just not something they stress out about
on a regular basis. They don’t seek out
special methods to achieve weight loss or worry about the foods they
consume. They say active without overly
obsessing as well.
Having regular thoughts of good health can be important to
ensuring a healthy future. However, when these thoughts consume the mind, too
much control and obsession can cause a negative reaction. It’s understandable
that consumers’ desire control but I feel that if the consumer focuses on a few
small lifestyle changes, the impact lasts longer.
Obsessing over many dietary and physical activity changes at
once can backfire, causing the consumer to feel like a failure. It can create a pattern in which the goals
seems father away. Small changes that slowly become lasting habits are
meaningful to the consumer and help to ensure better success rates while meeting
personal goals. Could weight loss be
achieved if consumers actually stop thinking about it so much?
