Lose Your Weight Not Your Mind

Weight loss is a journey both emotional and physical. It is a journey of mental preparation. The mind is the powerful processor. It keeps you thinking. You keep thinking about so many things. Your weight is of a concern to many. If you are fat people talk. If you are thin people still talk. Then what is the weight that you must have. It is all about BMI body mass index. You need to manage your body weight by checking your BMI. Body mass index which covers both your height in centimetres and weight and accordingly it is measured. If you height is 155cms your weight has to be 55kgs approximately. Very few people have the ideal body weight. Half the population is either obese or over weight and the ones that never put on weight are under weight.

The whole world is obsessed with looks and weight. Weight matters. Weight does matter but how much? Indian mentality is if you are overweight you don’t get a job, you cannot make friends you are criticized in the society. Indian mothers often think that if you are fat you will not get a man who will be willing to marry you. What on earth has fatness got to do with a man to marry? Although being fat is not good for health. What society thinks is their matter. You don’t worry about your weight unless you really want to. Some skinny girls think they are fat and exercise so much in the gym. I wonder do they really think they are fat or are they just blind. Or did they forget to go and check themselves in the mirror. Some people unnecessary worry when they are models it is understood. But normal girls who are college going and want to look as skinny as possible is a real problem. Exercising is good but over exertion leads to problem. Health problem are common in these cases, they get drained out of energy and the unnecessary dieting that kills them. They starve their bodies so much so that they tend to faint any and everywhere.

News that I read a few months back was of a girl who died in her sleep due to dieting. Probably she starved herself so much that her body gave up and became weak and her life ended there. Such a young girl and such foolish things. We lose our minds reading magazines and looking at the thin models. We work so hard and take such a lot of tension. That tension makes us out on more and more weight especially women. Women are more worried than men about the way they look. They are constantly thinking and are worried about various stuff. Don’t lose your mind lose your weight. Focus on a nutritional diet. A diet is what it takes to get an ideal weight.

Don’t worry and stress about your weight. Stress less and workout more. The more you work out the more you feel less distress. The little extra fat you see now all over your body could be out within a few weeks. All you got to do is cardio. Weight training and cardio go hand in hand. Both are good for losing weight. Workouts can be fun too they not always boring. They are fun if included with variations in exercises.
