I have written previously about this subject but last week we had a number of patients who expressed self-loathing about "needing help" in their weight loss efforts. Yheir lament was something to this effect: I should be able to do this on my own".
Well, if llosing weight was easy, then why is 65% of Americans overweight? I do believe that everyone who is overweight wants to lose that weight. Therrefore, if it was relatively easy to do this, the percentage of overweight americans would be much smaller.
Genetic, environment, physical issues and psychological components all play major roles in the weight gaining (or losing) provess. Unfortunately, we, as humans are designed to be more of a weight gaining specie as opposed to weight losing. We battle some pretty difficult forces.
Needing help in your weight loss effrots does not make you a "weak" person...it is the normal. Do not ever feel bad abouit asking for help in ypur weight loss efforts.
