Does weight loss equal happiness? No, but sometimes happiness leads to weight loss.

Happiness is found by doing something worth doing. Usually that involves doing something that helps other people. It also can be found by getting good at something, and enjoying what you do. If you can combine getting good at something, enjoying it, and helping others (and often all of these feed off each other), you have a sure winner for happiness. Because once you have these, you know you have worth.

Once you feel that good about yourself, I will bet you would also notice you needed a new wardrobe. I did.

It doesn't necessarily. You're right when you say that happiness comes from within. But, if weight loss makes you healthier, it can make you happier. If it makes you look better, it can give you more confidence. Etc.

I think the thing to concentrate on is this mythical idea that all one's problems will magically be solved once weight loss is achieved. I think that this unrealistic idea has something to do with the root cause of the unhappiness (which might also be a contributing factor in being overweight. Weight problems are often a symptom of an underlying psychological problem.)

Once the underlying unrealistic expectations and attitudes are dealt with, I think a person will be in a stronger position to control cravings and exercise in a way that will lead to weight loss. Deal with the unhappiness first (the real problem) and the weight problem second.

I think you should be asking "Are you happy being you?"

If you lost the weight would you be happier? if you think so then lose it but do it the healthy way! Yes if your a big person and lose alot of weight happiness comes with it because you feel better about yourself.. your proud that you have accomplished a goal you can wear smaller clothes etc..etc.. But if your not happy with who you are then nothing you do will change your feelings about yourself.. So take a step back and see if your weight is the thing that is bothering you the most and if it isn't then maybe working on feelings first will help improve your out look! Best of luck!

No not at all. You have to be happy with yourself. Big or small. Tall or short. You should like the way you are. Or just lose a little weight and see 4 yourself. Your probably going to fell the same. And then say well maybe if I lost a little more. Then your going to be anorexic. Your probably all already skinny. So be happy with the skin your in girl!! I'm sure somebody would love to have your body. Good luck!

Physical fitness will create a sense of pride and increase energy. This will in turn increase self esteem. Though wieght loss can occur during the process of becoming physicaly fit, it is not the only physiological change that can occur. So wieght loss itself will not increase happiness. In fact often diets that decrease wieght at a rapid rate can cause depression. Get a gym membership and a good routine that includes resistance training. Then watch yourself grow and form into the body you want. Surround yourself with possitive people who support what you are doing even though they sometimes dont understand. Create for yourself a strong body mind and heart and work twards those goals each day. Happiness is in the persuit of happiness.

Depends on you. Some ppl who are huge are perfectly happy, and some slightly overweight are so unhappy they develop eating disorders. If you think it will make you happy , then try it .. what do you have to lose? hah hey a joke

Oh and it will also make you healthier, just don't use pills. Maybe whatever is on the market is considered"safe" for now..wait til ppl come up w heart problems..

Just eat a lil less exercise a lil more and little by little it will come off.

Good Luck.

A well first step is to difference the "I ought to do" to a much less severe "a moderate adjustment that might upgrade my private photograph of myself". There is not anything incorrect with short of to drop some pounds and watching like your exceptional, however annoying your self anxiously approximately it would possibly not speed up the system. Take matters gradual and plan out a HEALTHY manner wherein you're going to absorb losing the ones additional kilos. Remember that a healthful vitamin and well fats "like omega 3" will truthfully supply you the power to burn off extra fats. Drink tons of water and recreation a bit of. Take a breath and loosen up, I'm definite you seem best already. But when you rather think the ought to drop some pounds, simply be riskless approximately it, thats all. Your query used to be Are you completely satisfied along with your weight And my reply might be that for the duration of instances while I'm no longer, I simply paintings additional rough to get to the factor wherein I am. =) I desire this helped, take care

Self esteem/confidence = happiness.

I've seen many over weight people that are very happy because they accept who they are. I've also seen very thin people be unhappy. I don't think being thin, overweight, tall or short has a direct line to happiness. Sure you might be happier, but it's not guaranteed. You need to do (or not do) whatever it is that will make you happy. Good Luck!

Let's just say that it would be one step closer. It would be one thing off your list that is bothering you and a huge one at that I might add. How you feel about yourself determines your happiness level. If nothing else it will be great for your health and without that you have NOTHING! I wish you all the luck in the world. It takes some work but anything worth having usually does. You can do it.............Put a smile on that pretty face!

I know exactly how you feel. I really do think that being thinner equals being happier. So many people have tried to change my mind but I'm stuck in my ways! I know deep down that once I was "thin enough" then I'd find something else that would make me unhappy.But for now thin-ness is my ultimate happiness goal.
