1. Weight Loss: What are its
Mental Effects?

2. Introduction
When most experts talk about weight loss, they focus on its
physical effects.
Indeed, losing weight has been linked to better heart health,
a reduction in the rate of strokes and a reduction in the risk
of developing cancer.
However, many who lose weight find that the mental effects
are equally profound. Here are some of the most common
mental effects seen by those who lose weight.

3. Confidence in Appearance
Although people often seek to separate their appearance with
their confidence, doing so completely can be difficult if not
impossible.
How we are viewed by others often affects how we view
ourselves, and those who lose weight often feel better about
how they look.

4. Confidence in Appearance
As a result, many who lose weight develop a newfound
appreciation for fashion, and those who previously stayed
home on Friday and Saturday nights sometimes choose to go
out a bit more often.
As a result, simply feeling better about how they look often
helps those who lose weight enjoy their free time more.

5. Sense of Accomplishment
Many people struggle for years or even decades before
successfully losing weight, and the accomplishment of
slimming down often leads many to feel proud.
 It often spurs people to take up new challenges, and many
who lose weight focus on rigorous exercise and
accomplishing new goals.

6. Sense of Accomplishment
The confidence gained by setting and meeting goals can have
a profound effect on mental health, and those who can
successfully lose weight often use this confidence to achieve
other goals.

7. Relief From Anxiety
Those who do not struggle with their weight often think that
those who do are unconcerned about obesity's health effects.
In reality, this is far from the truth, and those who struggle
with excess weight often feel a considerable amount of
anxiety.
Slimming down to a healthy weight often provides
substantial relief from anxiety, and feeling confident about
your health can help you relieve anxiety in general.

8. Relief From Anxiety
In addition, anxiety has consistently been linked to depression,
and those who can alleviate anxiety often find their depression at
least partially relieved.
People who are overweight also sometimes feel concerned for
their family members; losing a loved one is never easy, and losing
a family member at a young age can be especially difficult.
By achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, those who
successfully slim down can feel confident that they will be there
for their family members in the future.

9. Disappointment
While it is rarely spoken about, some people who lose
weight feel a bit disappointed.
Weight loss can have a profound effect on individuals, but
some expect too much.
Those who expect their lives to be changed completely
sometimes feel a sense of disappointment when they lose
weight.

10. Disappointment
For these individuals, attacking other personal issues can help
as well, and professional therapy may be beneficial.
Still, this disappointment is often mitigated by some of the
clear advantages of losing weight, and those who are
concerned about their weight should not let the possibility of
minor to moderate disappointment dissuade them from
pursuing their goals.
