This is a blog that many people can relate to. Here we will give you all the latest weight loss solutions as well as health tips, diet tips, and the real facts on how to lose weight the healthy way.
Everyone has fat days. And whether you actually are "fat" or not, just feeling that way can wreck your entire day. But did you know that feeling fat can actually be worse than being it?
Researchers say that adolescents who merely think they are too fat tend to have a worse quality of life than people who really are obese. In other words, thinking that you are fat can be more psychologically damaging than actually being overweight.
Even with the rise in childhood obesity, researchers say the number of adolescents who think they are overweight is increasing more rapidly than those who really are. In a study, 55 percent of the girls and 36 percent of the boys thought that they were "far too fat."
But in reality, only 18 percent of actually qualified as overweight.
If someone thinks they are "far too fat," the researchers say they sacrifice quality of life -- even if they aren't really overweight. Perhaps even more interestingly, researchers found that the quality of life for teens that were indeed overweight, but felt their weight was "just right" was nearly the same as that for those who were truly within their ideal weight range.
The bottom line is that following a healthy meal plan and exercising regularly is one of the best things you can ever do for yourself. If you are overweight, losing weight and getting in shape can help lower your risk for disease and improve your overall quality of life.
But simply loving YOU - regardless of your weight - can improve your life immensely. Whether you need to lose a few pounds or not, you can choose to accept yourself how you are right now. Self-acceptance can only come from within, so dig in and let your inner fabulous shine!
