RE: UNDERSTANDING OBESITY AND WHY IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE WEIGHT

in #health7 years ago

exactly. one needs to see their environment reacting 'negative' in order for them to make a change. if its all "its ok man, be yourself" then you are pretty much fucked + they don't really mean good for you, they just want you to feel good about them, while they maintain a superficial social stance without much conflict.

So true. The negative impact is vital especially since we are prone to creating ''comfort zones'' in our lives. For many years my schedule was University - Home - University -Home and nothing else. In this environment my obesity wasn't causing me any problems, especially in the safety of my own house where I would usually escape into the online world. It wasn't until I started exposing myself into other environments and social situations that I realised how ''handicapped'' I had become. This is why diets offer nothing. A total change in habits and behaviours is vital to break apart your comfort zones and force you to adapt into your new environment.
