Weight Loss?
posted in Society & Cultures |Question by 1: Weight Loss?
I want to lose weight (about 35 pounds) at 5’4 so I can be 100. I’ve been trying to lose weight for about 3 years, and I feel that I have ruined my life constantly trying and not doing anything with my life because if my weight isn’t good, I don’t feel comfortable doing anything. Still, I don’t want people to think that I’m doing it for attention since it will be a great loss. I’m embarassed by what people may say, even though this is what I want. I think this is hindering my progress. Advice?

First off, the normal weight for someone your height is roughly 120-125 lbs. I think you might be taking this too far. You should concentrate on eating healthy and exercise, not weight loss.
Unfortunately, I sometimes don’t like to do things when I am unhappy about my weight. But, you can’t rely on weight and looks to gain your self-esteem. You need to focus on your thoughts and other achievements. If you do get down to 100 lbs, something else will pop out. You might want to get down to 90, you might want surgery, etc. You need to really find other ways to be happy.
