Can Overweight People Be Happy?
Can overweight people be happy? Is there a REAL relationship between how much you weigh…..and how good you feel about yourself? In this article we are going to take a quick and insightful look at whether or not you can truly be a happy, fulfilled and CONTENT person, even if you are tipping the scales WAY too much in the wrong direction. Curious to know more? Ready to disagree with me already? Continue reading as we take a closer look below..:-)
Okay…..but all overweight people MUST be sad inside, right? You can’t truly be happy and still be fat!
The truth? I honestly disagree….and this is coming from a skinny person (finally!) who sells information on better nutrition, health and weight wellness! I DO believe I’ve met plenty of people who are overweight….or even FAT, to use a word I never liked myself, and are still joyful, positive and truly feel blessed to be who they are, inside and outside alike.
But in my own case….and in the case of so many others…..
I believe our BEST selves, our authentic and highest selves are most in harmony when our bodies are as fit as our spirit. And in my own life, and the lives of those I’ve seen struggle with weight like me…..there is ALWAYS a dichotomy between the two halves. I simply could never understand what it felt like PHYSICALLY, to be happy. I understood emotional happiness…..but not the sense of physical wellness and euphoria that comes with being in amazingly GREAT shape as well. I know this is going to sound “cheesy”…but it wasn’t until I became “whole” in the sense of mind, body and spiritual harmony, that I truly understood how MUCH I had been leaving on the table for so many years, while 20 pounds plus overweight.
In the end……everybody is different.
But my experience as a thin person is INFINITELY better, overall…as my experience being heavy. I know that some people will ultimately disagree…..but I truly believe, that life is short. It’s fleeting….fast and often OVER far more quickly than we ever realize. I came to a day where I realized, spending one MORE day overweight without taking action, was one day too many. And truly….it was on that day, that I truly discovered the path to how much MORE I could be….while being a whole lot less at the same time..:-) And when you are ready….so TOO will you!
