Assessing your own energy levels is difficult as there is relly no "objective" way of evaluating this. Some things are "quantifiable" such as your weight, body fat %, glucose levels etc. But how does one "measure" their energy levels?
One of the negative issues of carrying around excessive weight is the toll it usually takes on global energy. As the weight gain does not occur overnight, neither does the progresive decline in energy levels. The reduction is subtle, steady and it is easy to be lulled into thinking the hglobal ebergy decrease is because of stresss at work, not enogh sleep, too much chasing the chilkdrens activities etc.
However, one of the byproducts of siginifican weight loss that our patients inform us of is the wonderful increase in energy they feel. When we lose weighjt, we are taking pounds off of our joints, making our hearts work less hard, reducing sleep apnea symtoms etc. The loss of weight is almost always accompanied by an increase in energy.
Take a step back and assess your own energy levels...do you feel lots of good energy or do you feel tired and not motivated?
Another great reason to focus on weight control is the wonderful energy increase you will experience.
