Rapid Weight Loss Tips #3

Published by honestway at 7:59 pm under weight loss Edit This

Now everyone is searching for the perfect and easy to do Rapid Weight Loss Tips, so I think it is only fair to continue on this train of thought and post another one of these! After all, while the media is falling over itself to ram the whole weight loss thing down our throats, ordinary people are fretting because they think they may be a few pounds overweight just because they don’t look like the latest stick thin fashion model featured in the latest glossy magazine.

Well, that fires up the old indignity genes enough to draw forth a weight loss tip that hopefully adequately responds to this imbalance of nature!

This third in my mini series of rapid weight loss tips focuses not on what you can do to your body to lose a few pounds, but more on what you can do to your mind to come to a truthful self assessment as to whether you really do need to lose any weight at all!

Yes, you heard right! There are an unbelievable number of people who are not the slightest bit overweight. Yet because they don’t conform to what the media likes to make everyone believe about their weight, they put themselves on gruelling weight loss programs and deprive themselves of vital nutrients just so they can look like this years top model.

The truth, of course, is that they do not have to.

If you’re a young woman (and let’s face it, the media hype on weight loss is aimed unfairly and squarely at women), the pressure is enormous to be thinner, but the truth is that most men do not prefer their women to be so thin. You have to remember that fashion models are dressed by predominantly gay male fashion designers who prefer the flat chested slim hipped figure of their female models because they’d rather be dressing flat chested slim hipped MALE models.

So if you ever wondered why fashion models are so thin, now you know. If that upsets anyone, it shouldn’t. Be honest with yourself and you’ll see the common sense in that.

So take the pressure off yourself and rejoice in your body as it is. That’s assuming of course that you are actually NOT clinically overweight. But even if you are a few pounds more than what you should be, if you feel healthy and can run around without getting out of breath too quickly, then don’t sweat it. Keep doing that and you’ll find a healthy balance between what your body says feel right for it and what the doctor says is right.

Bottom line, the rapid weight loss tip for this post is to STOP worrying about what the magazines say you should look like and just be what your body says it should be like. You’ll feel pounds lighter in an instant!
