Being Beautiful

In East Brunswick, many medical weight loss patients have battle scars from losing weight that are more than skin deep. Being overweight, struggling with the inability to lose weight and battling with hunger can impact your self-esteem and body image, in addition to your physical weight and health.

Medical weight loss programs make losing weight a possibility for those who have struggled with it in the past, but all of the meal plans in the world aren’t going to change how you mentally perceive yourself. While you lose weight, you need to take the time to mend any emotional wounds that you have inflicted. This means learning to love and accept who you are as beautiful, despite any blemishes or imperfections that you unfairly perceive in your reflection.

5 WAYS TO BOOST SELF-ESTEEM AND INCREASE HEALTH

After struggling with obesity for years, many people tend to focus on negatives when they see themselves in the mirror. This self-criticism can lead to a negative body image that can be emotionally draining. Rather than focusing so intently on the things you want to change, a better option may be to learn to love your body as it is and make small changes geared toward better overall health.

  1. Focus on the positive. Getting to a healthy weight is important, but if the constant negative self-talk is hindering progress, it is time to take a step back and look at the big picture. Focus on positive features like a nice smile or friendly personality. Remembering that a person is more than just a number on a scale is a great exercise to repair damaged self-esteem.
  2. It is important to remember that nobody is perfect. Even models in magazines are Photo-shopped to achieve perfection. Work towards meeting your healthy weight goals, and don’t let falsified images of models interfere with your motivation.
  3. A regular exercise routine that includes cardio, strength and flexibility training is recommended. Making a workout fun by taking classes or learning a new sport can turn exercise into a fun hobby rather than a chore.
  4. Eat good food for fuel. A varied and nutritious diet can increase health and protect against disease. Rather than counting calories or carbs, focus on eating a whole food diet and enjoy every bite.
  5. Revise unreasonable goals. Instead of focusing on fitting into a smaller pants size, set goals that are easier to control. For instance, try eating a new fruit or vegetable every week and make time for a 30 minute walk every day. Setting small goals like these can lead to big results over time.

Joining a support group in East Brunswick can also help your self-esteem as you lose weight. Being healthy is the ultimate goal. As you lose weight, keep your health goals in mind and remember to smile.
