I recently read the story of a woman who, after losing 180 pounds, began to feel that he had lost his identity. Losing weight is lost. Instead of weight loss that all their problems are fixed, which made where feel secure in their own skin.

Achieve your goal of weight loss does not always have the desired effect on your self-confidence.

Like many of us, she believes that the fantasy that if I could lose weight in your life would be better. This is an idea that is perpetuated by the media. We are taught to equate happiness with thinness in life at an early age. Most of us believe that, probably because many of us will never know what it is that to successfully achieve our ideal weight. This is something I have trouble with most of my life and when I do get my weight "ideal" body "ideal" has changed. Long story short, I've never been satisfied.

It's like the fantasy of being with a man, then marry her. What do you really do when you get married and the fantasy becomes your reality and face the fact that he is not perfect? Suddenly, the man who dreamed of being our knight in shining armor is just a human being. He farts, burps and snores. Of course, it is always cute and sweet, but where did the romance go and why is still here?

Why do we never realized before leaving socks on the floor and he is obsessed with hockey? What happened to date night? And where the hell did these kids come from? When he became human? This is the weight loss that is similar. It's great to do for your health, but like most things in life, will not solve all your problems.

When fantasy becomes reality, it is not always what we expected. Suddenly you find yourself living in the shoes of another person and you do not know who you are older. You get to your ideal weight and your life is not perfect because weight loss is not going to change who you are as a person. Not magically make you the perfect life. At best, you can not change what they seem. It is not a magic cure for all their problems. In fact, it may be the beginning of a new set of problems if it becomes too therein.

If you are obese, losing weight will probably make you feel better physically and can make you feel more confident, but it is not a magic pill. It will not heal the emotional or psychological problems. They should be treated separately. People who are thin and fit may have fewer health problems than someone who is overweight, but still have their own problems. Being thin is not a protected status. There is no guarantee that if you're thin, you'll be happy, beautiful or perfect. It's just something our hopes and dreams; blame our unhappiness in life.
