Bad News For Weight Loss
There is a knock on my office door, its one of my associates
and he says, “did you see the news”?
What news is that I responded? The shame your way to lose weight
approach… I thought he was kidding
until he showed me the NBCNews.com report on Daniel Callahan a bioethicist who
is calling for renewed emphasis on social pressure against heavy people, some
would call fat-shaming…
I reached for my glasses, I must be reading this wrong… Shaming people into losing weight, now I
have heard everything… Well, I don’t
believe Callahan spends every day interacting with those struggling with weight
issues… Well for the past twenty years
I have and placing people into the hall of shame regarding their weight will
never work…
Now do not mistake The Fat Loss Coach for jumping over into
the weight-acceptance advocate group either…
So what does work when it comes to shedding weight and keeping it
off? Your approach needs to be
holistic… A change of heart, attitude
and physical habits…
Helping those struggling being over-weight starts with
renewing their spirit or inner identity, teaching them to love themselves and
building their faith, not tearing it down…
A sign on my office wall says, imagine, dream and believe… Everything is possible if you believe…
I have asked this question thousands and thousands of times
to potential over-weight clients I meet for the first time… If it were as simple as going online and
ordering what you will weigh this year over-weight or ideal weight which would you
pick? I have never had one client say
over-weight in twenty years… No one
wants to be over-weight and have health issues, which accompany it… They lack the skills and confidence they can
change it…
