Yesterday I asked a patient an innocent question about her travel plans this summer and she became a bit teary eyed and told me that she doesn't travel on airplanes because of her weight. She went on to explain that it is very embarrassing to try to fit into one of the coach seats and when the planes are at full capacity, she has people right next to her and she senses their disdain. Therefore, she elects to travel via automobile which of course limits her distances for travel.
The personal sensitivities of being overweight, as this relates to sensing other people's negative reactions, may often result in withdrawal from functions and events. Losing that weight and regaining self confidence and self-esteem will complement your health benefits.
