Over the past several weeks I have seen a number of patients who have demonstrated, almost in a linear correlation, a marked improvement in their happiness that has paralleled their weight loss. When these patients first started our program, their mood was bordering on the clinical depression side. After signficant weight loss, the mood problem reversed completely, with an almost elated sensation occurring.
The improved physical appearance, higher level of confidence, more energy, positive feedback from friends and relatives, etc....all of these contribute to a person being happier when they lose weight. Coming off of medications for diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and other medical entities associate with weight problems is yet another reason for improved happiness.
Yes, on an immediate basis, the ingestion of a dessert can make us happy...for a bit. BUT, weight loss will make a person happy for much longer.
