Are You Happy With Your Weight and Body?

I realised for the first time today, that I am officially UNhappy with my weight. I went to the doctors regarding my pill, and obviously the do they basic check ups, including weight check ups. Last year I weighed 62Kgs, and this year I now weigh 70kgs, which is equal to about 11 Stone. I could not believe I had put on so much weight, I am 5foot 6, and I knew I'd put on a tiny bit of squidge, but I didn't think it was that much.
Granted, the weather here has been terrible for the last two years, making it much more difficult to get out and about, and my body has been conditioned to eat stodgy wintery foods. But it's now really got to me, and I'm desperate to lose my excess weight, and I don't really know how. I no longer feel sexy in my own body.
So are you happy with your weight or not? What techniques do you use to ensure you don't put on weight?

Hi, Jamton! No, I am not too happy with my weight and my body. I am not fat at all. I just want to lose my stomach that has 6 years of baby fat. I believe that if I was to lose this weight, that I would look at least 20lbs lighter... I do plan to walk at least 30 minutes a day. I love eating salads too. I plan to take a powder diet weight loss drink too. Maybe this will help me out.. And maybe, it will help you out too. I am sorry about yoir weight gain, I hope that you will be able to lose it. I am trying to lose my baby weight. I want to lose 40 lbs of body fat. Although, I don't look all that fat.. Good Luck!

In my opinion those powder shakes can work very well because I've seen it on friends. However they nearly always put the weight back on immediately by going back to old eating habits after going off the shakes. You should take advantage of free advice and diet plans with the shakes so that professionals can tell you what to eat when you go back to normal food. Good luck!

I have been working on losing weight for years now and have been somewhat successful off and on. I am currently in the process of trying out a new diet involving Milk. Check out my website that I created talking about how Milk can be an aid in weight loss, especially for the tummy region which is my worst feature: http://www.squidoo.com/milkforweightloss I am even keeping a belly fat weekly log, where I will be measuring my belly every week as I follow this milk diet to see if it makes any difference at all. You should check it out. It is some pretty interesting stuff!

Jamton-
I'm not familiar with the units of measurement across the pond. We use pounds here. I would say that the best way to control weight is by diet and exercise, and not just going on a diet but making a lifestyle change.
You could invest in a book called Dr. Weils 8 weeks to optimumn health which provides a great outline for getting started in a healthy eating plan for the rest of your life.
The biggest thing where weight loss is concerned is eating less the you burn on a daily basis. Adding in extra steps each day can help you raise the calories you expend.
You also may wish to look at taking out all processed foods. Our bodies do not process foods such as these very well and they end up being converted to fat. Don't starve yourself either because when the body is starved it begins to store everything as fat to conserve itself.
Namaste-Anora

I have never been happy with my weight. I come from a family of overwieght people. But for the first time in my life I am taking control of my weight problem. I joined weight watchers last October and I have lost 35 pounds since then. And I am starting to feel better about the way I look. I have a lot more weight to lose, but I know I can do it. The key is eating right without depriving yourself and to exercise (cardio and weight lifting both). Good luck with your weight loss.

I'm quite happy but because I model I have to be always certain that my body is the best it can be, so I'm always a bit concerned that I'll put on weight, and I always have to keep it off, and stay slim. I'm lucky that I'm naturally pretty slim, and I enjoy working out.

Yes I am happy with my weight. I do a lot of walking to stay fit. I also drink lots of juices and water.
