If you’re very overweight and have a body mass index of over (this means that you’re 100 pounds over the normal weight) dieting to lose a lot of weight is difficult.
Some obese people consider surgical aids, like Lap-Band surgery, in which a band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach, making the stomach very small.
Another surgical treatment is Bariatric surgery where a portion of the digestive tract is removed or clamped off. With this surgery people do have good success at weight loss but may also have problems with absorbing all the nutrients they need.
Before you consider surgery, try a less drastic solution like hypnosis. Weight loss hypnosis is often carried out by doctors and psychologists, who have a good understanding of the issues involved in losing weight.
If you’re very overweight, and do make the commitment to lose weight, think in terms of small losses: aim to lose five pounds. When you make this milestone, aim for another five pound loss. Setting small goals, and achieving them, give you the confidence that weight loss is achievable for you.
