Medical Video: I'M DISGUSTINGLY FAT + NEED HELP !
"I'm fat, huh?"
Questions that you might often hear from your friends, especially female friends. Even if you answer honestly with no answer, your friend will still feel that he is fatter than he used to be. Maybe it is true, especially if he compares his current body weight with a few years ago.
However, why are there people who, despite their slim bodies, still feel fat?
Rose weight does not mean fat
There are several factors that affect weight gain, whether height or muscle mass, for example. The fact is, your body will experience rapid changes, especially after you go through puberty. You will experience physical changes that often cause your weight to increase.
But, instead of just focusing on the numbers on the scale, it's better to focus on your lifestyle so that your weight doesn't increase excessively.
Are you really fat or just feeling fat?
If you feel fat, or you gain weight, try asking yourself a few questions.
Do you miss breakfast?
One study found that breakfast can withstand excessive hunger during the day and beyond, preventing you from overeating, which will cause you to gain weight.
Do you consume lots of sweet foods / drinks?
If so, then you are at risk of gaining weight. Although sugar gives your body energy, consuming foods / drinks that contain lots of sugar will not make you feel full for a long time.
Do you do physical activity?
Physical activity includes not only sports, but also activities at home or work. A study conducted by Hankinson, MD, quoted through Medicinenet.com, states that adults who routinely engage in physical activity tend not to gain weight due to age.
Do you get enough sleep?
Sleeping less or more than needed turns out to increase the risk of gaining weight. A study found that if you are used to poor sleep patterns, it will increase your desire to eat high-calorie foods. Sleep duration can actually affect hormones ghrelin which regulates hunger and leptin which regulates appetite. In addition, lack of sleep can cause you fatigue and result in less physical activity.
Your perception of yourself is more important than the numbers on the scale
If you are worried about the size of your body, then you can start a healthy life by consuming healthy foods, regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and so on. To get started, you need to talk to the closest person so he can remind you when you begin to forget. Or, you can consult a doctor to get the right advice, whether you really need to lose weight or not. Even if you are advised to lose weight, the doctor will give you the right diet.
And finally, try asking yourself:
- Is weight important?
- Does your weight make you unhappy?
- Do friends stay away from you just because your body is not like an artist or model on television?
If the answer is no, then you better focus on getting used to healthy living, socializing with friends, and doing things that make you happy, rather than focusing on losing weight when you're not necessarily as fat as you think.
