INFORMATION
Keeping a healthy weight can be a very important
factor in maintaining physical and mental health, energy level, and overcoming
low self-esteem, depression, and many other psychological and physical disorders.
People can have problems of overeating and overweight or problems of anorexia (or
not maintaining enough weight).
ADVICE
If you are over or underweight according to
health charts for your age, sex, height, and body-build, then you should first see
a physician to check on any physical problems. If you still have a problem,
then seek solutions from reading, counseling, weight-control programs (such as Weight-Watchers
or Jenny Craig). Learning to control your weight seems to work best if you
do it for your own health and appearance--not to please someone else. People
who lose large amounts of weight (e. g. 50-100 pounds or more) often experience
a re-ordering of life priorities that value themselves, their self-esteem, and their
happiness (and perhaps some Higher Power) above the opinions of others, their own
pleasures and pains, or anything else that gets in the way of these higher values.
