Some strange reasons to lose weight


I can understand that somebody might be really determined to lose weight. Obesity can be dangerous to our health and can cause several psychological problems. But I sometimes meet people whose motivation is a bit complicated. Actually, I find it difficult to comprehend why they decide to go on a diet. To give you an example: one of my cousins is a quite a pretty woman. She"s very tall and I believe she doesn"t weight more than she should. But she keeps telling herself she"s fat. Why is t so? I can"t understand it, but there must be a kind of misperception involved. She really wants to lose weight that"s why she eats too little. Another example, a girl that takes part in karate classes at our club. She is quite talented, I must say, and she often takes part in various international competitions. She always wants to participate in the light weight category, that"s why she"s so determined to lose a couple of kilograms from time to time. But even if she fits in the category and fights all her opponents, is she really the best? I would not be happy with my gold medal at all if I were her. I"m not overweight, but if I were, I would probably do my best to lose weight. But I can"t imagine going beyond some limits. It"s important to be aware of what"s worth your effort and what is not.
