One of my friends are really dying to lose weight. In fact she's doing Zumba dance or even aerobics inside the office just to burn few calories everyday. Worse is that she seems already pathetic.In her story, she told me that if she will go to her province,she will never go outside for she's afraid what other people might going to tell her because she's getting big.Good if she's rich because she can only do liposuction but she's not. I guess it;s not really a big and serious problem but she considered it very seriously. If she's your friend, what advised can you give her?

I am also planning to lose weight after all the kilograms I gained when I got pregnant. But with a baby at home and being a working mom, I can never find some time to exercise. I plan to lose weight for 2 purposes. One is for health reasons and other one is that I am getting conscious of how I look now. Maybe your friend is also conscious of how she is. Though i can explain that I am just from pregnancy, but still it's not enough to justify it. :) I should have really worked hard to earn what I want.

She really does.She feels like going crazy and she's already desperate to lose weight.I feel pity for her but I just tell her to be with herself.She does need to accept what she is and try to enhance it.

Well i can understand the desperation of your friend but i would have never allowed her to go for liposuction or any such medical treatments for weight loss. One can easily loose one's weight naturally without wasting a single penny. Why do we have parks and open spaces around? It is not for the children only. It is also for those who want to go for daily walking and exercises. Besides u can do Yoga daily and remain on a strict balanced diet and have a proper diet. This will surely help her reduce her weight. Besides, going to a dance class or a gym is not a bad option either. What say?

What you've mention as a natural way to lose weight are the things she's doing now.

I would tell her that losing weight is good but for different reasons. Health reasons. Because it is bad for her body and her heart, not because of what people say. If she is overweight she should lose some weight, no harm in that. Exercise is good and she should also see an expert on diets. I did that twice in the last 4 years. I wasn't overweight, just a few kilos I wanted to get rid of. I have kept the programm since then and now I try to stay where I am and not take them back.

I keep on telling her that she doesn't need to lose weight for other people instead he needs to do that for herself.

What can you say about her? Is she really fat? I think you as her friend should tell her that she need not to stress herself in losing weight. Take it slow and enjoy what she is doing. Zumba and aerobics are fun activities. Do not stress herself in losing weight. Stress can result to gaining weight actually. Advise her not to be conscious a lot with her weight and dont think of what other people would say about her. Losing weight should be for her self satisfaction not for others.

I would advised her firstly to lose weight if it is her wish to do so, but not because of what others might say because she getting too big now. Plus to lose weight you don't have to torture yourself, you just lose weight step by step and enjoy the whole process. Doing Zumba dance is a great start for her, she might also consider eating healthy foods from now on.

Many things can make someone feel shame like over weight. One of the most commonly experienced by women is less than ideal body weight. Obese women are often "hide her body" because they feel ashamed. Fat body often makes women feel ashamed. I think the easiest way is to use a loose wear if you want to go out. No need to be ashamed. Believe me, that there is still much fatter girl than ourselves. Try to still cool and ignore of their words. Still too shy? I think it's time to exchange experiences with peers who have more body fat but remain confident in the face of obesity.

I have been losing weight for the past two years, so I think it would be fair to say that I have to think about it quite a lot. I wouldn't say that I was obsessed by it, because that makes you think that it is not needed, whereas I do desperately need to lose weight at the moment. Well, not as much as I might have done in the past, but I do certainly need to lose at least another 9 pounds, and then possibly a little bit more as well depending on how I feel about myself and how my body looks once I've lost that amount. You should never need to get liposuction to lose weight, because the truth is that it isn't all that hard as people like to make out. There are far too many people who struggle with losing weight and, really, there is absolutely no need for people to struggle with it because it is as simple as calories in

I am also conscious about my weight and I really would like to lose some more weight (from my pregnancy). As for your friend, try not to be obsessed with her weight because that would no longer be healthy for her. It would affect her esteem and her social skills as well. Nobody is perfect and for her to lose weight, it would not be done overnight. It takes time, effort and discipline.

Hello I've heard that Zumba is really effective in loosing weight. If she is my friend I will support her but I will tell her few reminders. If she wants to loose weight it's because it is good for her not for anybody else. I think she things a lot what other people might say. The important thing is she do it for her own good or health not for other people. Have a great day..:)
