Is your world getting smaller as you get larger?
We humans are designed to connect, and I don’t mean from a sitting position at electronic devices connecting with people on social media!
If we can’t physically engage and bond with other people, we bond with the source of our problem or addiction.
Physically, then, it’s very difficult for overweight and obese individuals of any age to participate in many of the pastimes and activities that people enjoy that draws them together.
Emotionally, they find themselves more alone, with perhaps like-minded friends who are as lonely and unhappy with their weight and appearance as they are. (Misery loves company.)
If you’re overweight or obese, and see yourself transitioning from active to inactive, from participant to spectator, shrink your waistline and expand your world.
It does not have to be a small world, after all.
