Weight matters 

05/01/2015 By Frances Koulos Leave a Comment

Most of you would know the show The Biggest Loser and most of you would have an opinion about the contestants and trainers.  I admit that I watch it.  I am interested in the degree of persistence and patience demonstrated by contestants as well as appreciating the psychological factors impacting on each contestant’s starting weight.  I watch for the light globe moment when a contestant realizes how his/her psychological state has contributed to his/her weight.  Low impulse control and low self-love has led to overeating.  I then wait for the light globe moment when a contestant realizes that he/she matters and a commitment is made to his/her health.  Overeating and being overweight is rarely linked to long term good health. I listen to the contestants talk about themselves in kinder words.  They are on a journey that requires a lifetime commitment to a positive relationship with food.  Food like most things in life requires an understanding of moderation. Kindness on the other hand can be associated with excess.  Be kind to yourself and let me help you learn how to manage your weight.
