Weight Loss - An Impartial Perception

How we see our own bodies is very personal and often very inaccurate. The scary fact is that a person with anorexia can look in a mirror and see a fat person, while an overweight person occasionally does not even notice that the pounds have piled on until an unkind comment is passed or a pair of jeans that once fitted well will no longer get past the hips.
Before any action is taken, however, it is important to get an impartial opinion and correct advice on losing or gaining weight. The most important issue is that by changing your eating pattern you improve your health, not impair it. A doctor will always advise you whether you need to lose weight and how to do it. There is also an abundance of advice available on healthy eating plans online.
Beware of obsessive behaviour in any form. It is a common problem that fear of food becomes an issue, where you become afraid to eat socially in case you are 'forced' to have something that is calorific, thereby ruining all the good work you have done. One piece of cake or the odd portion of fries is not going to turn you into a fat person instantly if you have been following a balanced diet. It does not hurt to have the odd lapse as it can keep the body and mind balanced.
Also there are periods in your life when your body will change. When you are young and active it is easier to stay in shape, but as you age and become more sedentary the muscle tone lessens and your metabolism slows. To help combat this it is important to participate in some form of exercise. This helps two-fold as muscle always burns fat faster and your heart rate is increased which burns more calories.
A gym can be a daunting place to visit if you are not in the habit of exercise, but it is worth checking what classes they hold, as there are often beginners classes for people in exactly the same situation, which will introduce you to 'sport' in a gentle way whilst making friends.
If you can, take an unbiased view of yourself. Are you really overweight? Are you possibly underweight? A healthy diet can be beneficial for both cases, as it is just as dangerous to be extremely thin, as fat and both scenarios put untold pressure on your heart. The aim is to be healthy, not entirely image conscious. Obviously, of course, we all want to look good and this should be a natural end product of following a physical and nutritious lifestyle.
