“You should diet or exercise. Doesn’t your excess weight bother you?”
“No! It doesn’t bother me.”
Anyone having this conversation would have trouble accepting it. How could anyone be happy with being overweight? This is something no man or woman can even imagine! But there are some individuals who don’t see any issue in being overweight. It’s not that they are too fond of large portions of cheesy pasta, nor do they particularly hate using the treadmill.
Some people actually think of their excess weight as a shield.
Healthy Weight Loss – How Effective Will It Be If Our Mind Is Not On Weight Loss?
Advice and how-to tips found in magazines, websites and books can be helpful when it comes to guiding people towards healthy weight loss. Not only can individuals find the motivation, willpower, knowledge and tools of effective weight loss but with a bit of effort they can keep it off!

As stated above, some individuals wear their excess weight as an armor or shield. Why? Until the answers aren’t found, healthy weight loss won’t help much. You won’t even TRY to lose weight!
Why Do Some People Think Their Weight Is A Shield?
A traumatic event in the past, usually in the form of abuse, may be responsible for this thinking in some over-weight individuals. Psychologists determine their weight helps create an impenetrable barrier from the outside, ‘cruel’ world.
For some however, excess weight and obesity is the direct result of emotional eating. Such people find it difficult to cope with their broken relationships, uncertain futures, and haywire emotions. The only outlet to the resulting depression, anxiety and confusion is emotional eating.
Emotional Hunger Can’t Be Filled With Food
Yes, eating may feel good and even right at the moment; but the truth is, you’ll feel far worse afterwards when the food is all gone.
Why? The feelings that triggered such a response weren’t addressed! You’ll feel guilty about the extra calories consumed and powerless to stop such a reaction from taking place again. Naturally you’ll turn to food again and this cycle will continue. Weight gain is inevitable.
