Weight Maintenance - Is This Normal?How to safely maintain your new weight. 4. Jill has reached her weight loss goal. In the beginning, she was on Cloud 9 - happy as a loon. And now, she's depressed. Her question is, "Where is my 'happy'? Is this normal? What am I doing wrong?" Jill's emotions are perfectly normal. What she is experiencing is a bit akin to how one might feel after the holidays - yet it goes a bit deeper than that. Jill has experienced a LIFE CHANGE.
Her feelings are similar to those of parents who have one of their children marry and leave home. Or, as a new mother might experience after the birth of her child. Jill simply needs time to allow her emotions to stabilize. 5. Becky has reached her weight loss goal of 110 pounds. She is 5'3" tall. When she sees herself in the mirror she thinks that she would look better if she pulled another 10 pounds off. Her question is, "Every time I look into the mirror, I still feel fat. Do I need to lose more weight? Is this normal? What am I doing wrong?" Becky does not need to lose anymore weight. A few more pounds and she could stand sideways in the road and get plowed under because the driver wouldn't be able to make out her stick frame. According to the weight charts at Diet Bites, Becky is at the lowest end of her weight. Another pound and she'll slip into the Land of Skeletons & Bone Yards. Sometimes, dieters don't know when to quit which can lead to serious eating disorders. It's like Clint Eastwood said, "A man's got to know his limitations." So yes, this is a very normal thought. The solution is to ACCEPT one's new self. Becky needs to take a good look at the weight charts and ACCEPT the numbers engrained therein. It's time to be happy! OR Navigate by Clicking on Page Below |
