It might be easy for you to say that you’re willing to lose weight, but let me ask you a question. If you take serious action in losing weight, do you think it is easy this time? For me, absolutely no way that it’s going to be easy.
Here are some expectations you need to know in terms of losing weight:
- You may expect some temptations around you. In your home or restaurants, there will be delicious foods around you.
- Expect that you may be hungry for most of the time. Your stomach will crave for most of the time and might experience some headache and weaknesses.
- You may be struggling from disciplining yourself in your weight loss journey.
- Expect that you may have a lack of concentration and focus on your daily activities and priorities due to your body’s adjustment.
If you’re experiencing any or all of these expectations above, it means you’re now in progress of losing the unwanted pounds you have. If you’re struggling to cope up with your weight loss journey, you’re not alone. There are a lot of people who are also experiencing the same journey like you do. There might be some obstacles, challenges, and trials that you need to encounter.
At the end of the day, it is you to decide whether to keep going or not. If you wish not to continue with your weight loss journey, you don’t need to read this article anymore. But if you do, carry on and continue learning to reach your goals. Some of you say that you don’t need to lose weight (except for those who are already slim and fit). If you are one of those people who is suffering from obesity or overweight, you definitely need to read this one.
Without further ado, here are some of the reasons that you need to lose weight soon:
1 – Overweight or obese could lead you to several complications
You do want to live longer, right? In order for you to achieve that, you need to lose weight first. It was proven that obesity and overweight could lead you to a shorter life. But that’s not all, though. You will also be experiencing health complications anytime such as heart enlargement, high cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liver and so on. Preventive solutions are essential for these kinds of chronic illnesses, but losing weight would be one of the best choices you have for good.
2 – Your body needs to have a better and balanced metabolism
Another important reason that you need to lose weight is no other than better metabolism. The reason that you need to have a great body metabolism is for you to have a great amount of fuel to be used after eating foods. For those of you who are obese and overweight, this is great news for you. Heavy ones actually have faster metabolisms than those who are a little overweight and fit. Losing weight can make you feel good in terms of getting a balanced body metabolism. In order for you to naturally boost metabolism, try to eat to magnesium-rich foods, vitamin B, weightlifting or so.

3 – Your body needs to be in perfect shape
Are you still happy with the love handles and “Big J” shaped stomach you have? If you are, keep going until you’re sick and tired of it. If you take a closer look at those people with slim bodies, six packs or so, they are the ones who are in perfect shape. Not only that, they are considered to have perfect health (unless they didn’t do something to prevent chronic illness from getting worse). They can wear fitted clothes and jeans that they want.
Speaking of jeans, do you have one that you would like to wear, but your waistline is big? Losing weight and staying fit at the same time can make your body in perfect shape as your families, friends, and colleagues or so will always be attracted to your physique.
4 – To increase your stamina and resistance
Aside from the three reasons above, increasing resistance and stamina is a valuable and essential one. However, you need to do some regular exercising to start experiencing this one day at a time. One of the best exercises for you to increase stamina and resistance is no other than outdoor biking. Other exercises you can do are cardio types, aerobics, yoga, stretching, doing household chores, outdoor activities or so. How would you feel if you already have increased stamina and resistance? For sure, you’ll feel great once and for all.
5 – To make you look and feel younger
To be honest with you guys, this is actually one of my favorite reasons to lose weight. I remember that time when I was overweight during my early 20’s, people recognize me that I am already on my 30’s. I know that kind of feeling, though, and for sure you can relate to this one. A few years later, I decided to lose weight and change my lifestyle.
My college friend asked me about my age, and I told her to guess. I was 27 during that time, but she told me that I look like 21 or 22. Isn’t that sound great to you when they recognize you as a young person even at an older age? I’m pretty sure that you would feel satisfied and excited when you hear that from somebody.
Final words
Remember, never be satisfied if you are overweight. Health complications might haunt you for the rest of your life later on if you don’t act quickly. There’s nothing wrong with eating your favorite foods every day, but make sure that you do it moderately. What really matters is that you need to have a balanced and healthy lifestyle by starting to control your food intake and lose weight in a healthy way. Just stay away from temptations that would ruin your weight loss journey in which that was my biggest mistake a few years ago.
These are all the five essential reasons why you need to lose weight as soon as possible. If you want someone to be inspired and appreciate your physical appearance, go ahead and start losing weight now. Even though that this may not be a simple task, but it’s actually worth every single effort that you have. Are you still not deciding to jump on the fence? Better do it soon, and you’ll get sooner results as well.
