"Misleading? The announcement of a television program reads: "Nine people want to improve their quality of life" (speaker), "I'm going to marry my boyfriend and for that special day I want to be thinner and prettier" (a of participants). "Question of Weight" is the title of the program.
the end going to be that it is misleading advertising and the media DO have something to do with these disorders. Want to be more beautiful is to improve the quality? If quality of life is that is for "the rest of our life "but" for that special day "... sounds more like wanting to show off to take some nice pictures for posterity. What we sell then? What thin is beautiful? What you have to be pretty and thin to have more quality of life? For what is the quality of life for these people, like better? What people will turn to see happen? What do you envy of your beauty? And when we grow and reach 60, 70 or 80 years old, what will have to operate in order to remain beautiful and thin?
Dear readers, the first requirement
to lose weight and have quality of life is
have a healthy self-esteem and strong balanced. Otherwise, just try to keep a regime will be a drop in self-esteem, mood swings, feelings of failure and not achieve our long-term goal-namely, stay healthy, at a weight that allows us to be healthy, "because, do you really want to be thin and pretty for one day? Or is it rather to have the best possible health for as long as possible?
remember another TV program, one of those "shows" live mix of Big Brother and Pop Idol, but in this case was to improve psychological success and the road, a therapy in Live (with psychologists, or Coaches .) One of the contestants, or rather, patient, a young woman, married with children whose goal was to get back into shape because he had tried several diets but could not. And how is that someone who wants to lose weight get psychological therapy? Surprise! Because what we wanted was not losing weight, but be happy today
the idea that being thin is to be happy is extended aaaaampliamente (we say it @ s us who suffer an eating disorder, right? .)
Want to know what happened? The woman received aid (or was treated as more you like) of a nutritionist to teach it to eat a gym teacher, to get in shape, and a psychologist, to build self-esteem and trying everything that was going out and necessary. The woman spent several weeks at home, along with other companions, each with its own, doing individual and other group activities. The time the patient remained at home depended on their personal development. This woman did not complete his time because his goal, losing weight, it was not what I wanted. She said. I wanted to see their children, go home and did not want to lose weight, he was fine as it was (stating that it had not reached the goal set before entering, and therefore the decision to leave was not because already felt thin enough.) The therapy had strengthened their self-esteem, helped him to know and recognize what was going wrong and what I really wanted. She wanted the relationship with her husband fuerse different, I wanted to go to work, engage in other activities outside the home and children. When he realized that, when she learned to confront some selfish behavior itself and when I did see that was right and I could do those other things I wanted, the need to lose weight disappeared.
another case.
One more example.
A happier life.
And back in the beginning, advertising more misleading.
