A lot of people can only dream of losing weight, and many of those people that do manage to achieve this goal are extremely happy as a result. However it is worth mentioning that not everyone will feel this happy after they have achieved their weight loss goals. In fact it may still leave them feeling depressed. So why is this?
Well there are several reasons for this. If you have managed to lose a great deal of weight because you were massively obese to begin with, then you will obviously look a lot better.
However you may find that you have a lot of saggy skin from where you have lost huge layers of fat. This is not an attractive look and may make you feel quite depressed because it is one other problem that you have to deal with.
Even if this is not the case and you now look absolutely terrific, you may still feel depressed because it hasn't taken away the pain that you feel from other problems in your life. Many people think that they will feel a lot better if they can successfully lose weight, and hope that it will take away their general depression and make them feel happy again. Unfortunately this rarely turns out to be the case in reality.
There is one other reason why people often feel down after losing weight and hitting their targets. This does not apply to everyone, but the fact is that there are a significant number of people who go through life never being entirely happy with their body and their general appearance.
So in this case they may well have achieved their weight loss goals, and are now in much better shape as a result, but they will still be unhappy because they have noticed other parts of their body that they do not like. The sad thing is that this becomes a never ending vicious circle because once you sort out one problem you do not like, you just keep moving on to the next problem, and you're never truly happy about how you look.
This trend will obviously continue as you get older because parts of your body start to sag, you start to develop more wrinkles and you are more likely to put on weight. Therefore it is worth seeking help about this problem at an early stage to try and overcome this constant unhappiness with how you look.
Anyway I hope you can see why achieving your weight loss goals does not necessarily lead to happiness. In many cases it will make you feel better, but this is definitely not the case for everyone.
