Enjoying life and stimulating sensory perception: Rediscovering the exciting energy in life and shutting down the unconscious "mechanisms" that lead to weight gain.

Nothing really gets my heart racing. When people feel lonely, they unconsciously eat. Conversely, being too comfortable can have the same effect. Extra caution is needed during adolescence, after marriage, and after having children!

Life has many phases. In the latter half of one's teens, weight can suddenly increase significantly. One may have a great figure when first married, but weight gradually increases after marriage, and increases again after each childbirth, making it impossible to return to the original body shape... By the time one is 50 or 60, one may think, "It's impossible to gain weight again," but fat continues to accumulate.

Adolescence is supposed to be a period of heightened hormone activity, a time when both boys and girls should be at their most radiant. However, it's also a period filled with various anxieties. If these anxieties aren't effectively resolved, the mind and spirit will struggle to develop healthily, potentially leading to a search for gratification through food.

Women are most beautiful and radiant when they are dating and getting married. Meeting the man they love, their hearts race with excitement, and they constantly wonder, "How can I make myself even more beautiful?" But once they get used to married life, the excitement fades, replaced by a sense of security. Gradually, even dressing up becomes a hassle. After having children, the busyness of caring for them and various daily chores makes you feel "it doesn't matter anymore" and you give up on pursuing beauty.

Furthermore, because they feel "I'm already [age]" or "I'm already an old lady," they don't bother to dress up, only wearing comfortable loungewear and loose pants. This is a very important reason for obesity. In every stage of life, there will be periods of "loneliness" and "relaxation and indulgence." But during such periods, don't forget your identity as a man or a woman. It is crucial to constantly maintain the motivation that allows you to shine.

Using food to relieve stress is a classic, but often harmful, way to numb yourself when you're feeling down or anxious. The moment you finish eating, you're back to your negative emotions and fall into self-loathing.

If you're dumped by your boyfriend whom you love dearly, you'll initially be devastated and unable to eat. But after a while, as your emotions gradually calm down, you might lose control and start binge eating and drinking. When under pressure, going out for a big meal and drinks with like-minded friends, having fun and forgetting all the unpleasant things is the best way to vent!

When you're feeling down or anxious, do you sometimes rush to the convenience store, buy a ton of snacks, and then devour them? Do you ever do that? Or perhaps you're facing intense pressure during exams, perhaps even late at night, munching on snacks and late-night treats? Do you tell yourself, "I'm eating this because I need to study hard," and treat these snacks as a reward for yourself?

In reality, because you're not hungry but still eating, the "mechanism" for obesity is definitely activated. Overeating is more likely to occur when encountering unpleasant, unsettling, or sad events. But incredibly, no matter how much you eat, don't you still feel unsatisfied? Although eating may temporarily help you forget unpleasant things, afterwards you're left with only self-loathing for overeating.

This kind of eating only stretches your stomach further without providing any enjoyable reward. It's unrealistic and sets unrealistic goals. Everyone imagines themselves with an ideal, beautiful figure. However, if the goal is set too high, it's difficult to achieve. The key to achieving a goal is to set achievable objectives.

Let's say you're determined to start losing weight today! Your goal is to lose 10 kilograms and reduce your waistline by 5 centimeters. Since you've gone to so much trouble to lose weight, your goal is to be able to wear clothes two sizes smaller than what you currently wear. In short, you're determined to achieve your dream model-like figure as soon as possible...

While setting goals for weight loss is perfectly normal, setting them too high can be counterproductive and become a "trigger" for obesity. The key to successful weight loss is to start with a target weight loss of 2-3 kilograms, rather than aiming for excessively high goals. Furthermore, even if the weight loss is small, be happy for any changes in your body. "Ah, almost there!" This will help you encourage yourself optimistically and positively.

This kind of "phased weight loss method" is actually the fastest and most practical "mechanism". The kind of repetitive "losing a lot of weight all at once and then gaining it all back" is harmful to both body and mind.

Your senses become dulled. Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. If you can no longer be aware of these five senses, you need to pay special attention. If your awareness of tasting food is weak, you cannot feel full.

While eating meals or snacks, people may say "It's delicious" but they don't even look at the food carefully before chewing it and swallowing it. "The appearance of the food, its aroma, the feeling in the mouth, the sensation while chewing... I didn't feel any of these"-these lifestyle habits are the "triggers" that make people fat.

Stress is the culprit behind the dulling of our senses. When our senses are dulled, brain function also declines, making it difficult to feel satisfied no matter how delicious the food is. If we fully activate our senses, the brain will feel satisfied quickly, experiencing a sense of fullness sooner. If the brain is not satisfied, no matter how much we eat, we will still feel hungry and feel compelled to eat more.
