Weight Loss Motivation: Emotions & Weight Loss
Posted on Jan 23, 2010 01:55:32 PM
The simplest step and also the biggest hurdle in losing weight is finding the motivation to lose weight. Many people feel as though they want desperately to be thinner and healthier, but for some reason they just can’t. They have some intangible problem with developing weight loss motivation. There is a psychology of weight loss that stands in their way.
Any time we push back a feeling of need, we shut down a vital energy. If it remains unexpressed, it will often be converted into feelings of physical hunger. That’s why you may often find yourself driven to eat more when you are feeling emotionally unfulfilled. The mind and the body are connected, and the line between emotional hunger and physical hunger can easily become blurred. In this article we’ll explore some of the ways that your emotions may be causing you to gain weight, or preventing you from losing weight. Your obesity may be a symptom of full-blown depression or of just basic unfulfilled emotional need.

This is one of the most scientifically validated and least-known quick weight loss tips that I have to offer, and I sincerely hope that you will hear it well.
