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.
