Question
Dear Dr.Braccio:
No matter how anamur eskort bayan hard I try, my weight will not stay off. With all the problems I have with anger and guilt about my divorce, being a single mother raising three children on my own and a single breadwinner, why can’t I lose the weight?
Answer
An amazing 90% of persons cannot keep weight off that they lose. The reason for the failure in so many, as appears in your case, is a lack of self-esteem. You feel bad about the life you are living. To be truthful, it is very difficult. Even though you are helping your children out of love, the combination of guilt, anger, feelings of loneliness and a general unfairness, your self esteem has been battered.
Weight loss programs such as ours and countless others will all work if you can love yourself to the point you can control your calorie intake, attitude and exercise. You can change your self esteem with therapy and/or searching within yourself to find the positive and why you deserve to weigh what you desire.
It is reasonable that you use food as comfort. We probably all learned food was loving and supportive during breastfeeding or on the bottle. We even use the words “treats”, “help yourself”, “healing” and “healthy” to describe how we see eating. The goal in weight loss is to eat a balanced diet with healthy portions, exercise and positive view of oneself.
