It is important to get to the root cause simply because it would eventually determine the fate of the weight loss program. Dealing with the problem in a matter of fact manner might result in temporary weight loss, but sustainable solutions would be difficult to come by. Often, the right way to start would be with a few self introspective questions to delve into the actual reasons responsible for weight gain.
We are all aware of the stupendously successful Oprah Winfrey weight loss regime. Her journey from the fat to the fit is a well publicized one. Oprah, during the course of her battle with the bulge, accidentally chanced upon the concept of emotional weight gain. She was successful in unearthing the true causes behind weight gain and could therefore devise excellent solutions for the same.
Oprah states that the actual cause of weight gain in her life was the lack of balance between work and pleasure. With too much work and no time for self indulgence, what she was suffering from was a lack of self care. Like many of us, work predominated her life and the regular mundane activities had actually become “life” per se. Oprah states, that if such is the case, it is you and only you who can step in and reclaim your life. It is not the slim frame you are craving for, what you actually want is to have the balance back in your life.
She goes on to elaborate that the best way to combat emotional weight gain which has been linked to such underlying causes, is by spending more time on your own self. Ideally, you should start with moderate physical activity, around 30 minutes to 1 hour each day, for about 5 to 6 days a week. When you start getting active and indulge in healthy food habits, a sense of reorder sets in. It’s like rearranging the moments of your day, right from the start. This provides for more free time to spend on emotional and spiritual work.
Positive thinking in turn, helps in conquering this sense of imbalance completely. The more you are motivated to care for yourself, the more you’d love your body and strive to improve it.
Like Oprah, most of us are not really keen on sporting that perfect 10 figure. It is just that most of us do not realize it. All we want is to reach a weight which our body can comfortably hold. This will keep us fit and healthy, and that’s exactly what we are looking to achieve. We actually crave to be able to accept our bodily frame with complete positivity and do what we can to keep it fit and healthy.
As Oprah suggests, it is the love and care that we need from our near and dear ones to help us feel healthy and complete. At the end of day, it is all about loving our existence and looking for ways to make us happy.
