5 REASONS IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!

 1. Improved Health: Losing weight can significantly reduce the risk of certain diseases and can improve overall health. People who are overweight are more likely to develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, joint problems, and even some types of cancer. I personally know many people with type 2 diabetes and it is a horrible disease if left untreated.  

2. Improved Self-Confidence: Losing weight can also help boost self-confidence. Studies have shown that carrying extra weight can lead to low self-esteem and being unhappy with one’s physical appearance. 

3. Increased Energy: When you lose weight, your body is not as burdened by the extra weight, helping you to feel more energetic. This can be beneficial for physical activities, work, and everyday life. 

4. Improved Mobility: It is difficult to stay active when you are overweight. But once the excess weight is lost, your mobility improves. This gives you the freedom to enjoy things like walking, jogging, biking, and general activities with more ease.  Walking is free and you can do it anywhere.

5. Reduced Stress: Carrying excess weight can lead to extra stress on the body’s joints, leading to joint issues and pain. When excess weight is lost, joint pain can decrease and overall stress can be reduced.
