If you are a little heavy, you have no doubt heard these things numerous times, either from some friends or doctors: weight loss is very important, that if you do not lose weight, the span of your life will be shortened by several years, that if you do not take the weight off, you could become afflicted with numerous killer diseases such as high cholesterol level,diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea,heart diseases, you get the drift.
That being said, when should you lose weight? When do you feel would be the right time to say: ‘I have had enough! I am so sick and tired of this fat belly, so I am now going to lose weight’?
Well, nobody can tell that for you. You need to decide the correct timing for weight loss yourself. Also note that the timing you choose can make or break your weight loss plan.
You should start your weight loss efforts when you feel you’re overweight, but if you are morbidly obese, then no other method except expensive weight loss surgeries can help you with weight loss. As you can see, when it comes to weight loss, timing is extremely important!
There is a story of a man who was a fitness coach for many years. He had a friend called Sean who, at one point of time, was excessively overweight (if you look at him now you won’t be able to tell that just a few years ago, he had a large belly and flabby arms). He was suffering from sleep apnea. He couldn’t get proper sleep, and no wonder felt dizzy and drowsy all the time.
He felt he didn’t have the energy to perform his day-to-day activities, and soon people began to call him lazy. Believe it or not, his obesity was the root cause behind all his problems.
This man and Sean are good friends, but for some reason, Sean never asked him for any sort of weight loss advice. It was as if he was not aware of his weight problem. Until one day…
He came to his senses when he was not invited by one of his friend’s to his birthday party!
First he found it rather strange, but then he realized that it was all because of his body weight. He also realized that lately several people had started ignoring him. As you can see, his weight problem had become a big hindrance in his life! That was the time when he finally decided that he needed to lose weight.
He asked his friend for advice, which he was more than happy to give. A year later, Sean had not only lost several pounds, but also felt better and more energetic. He is now not only able to sleep properly but also perform his regular activities without a problem. He is always full of energy and enthusiasm!
As you can see, Sean waited for what he felt was the right time before he started his weight loss efforts. Before you start your weight loss journey, you need to ask yourself if now is the correct time for you to lose weight!
