I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life. I lost 30 lbs by eating smaller, healthier meals and it is a constant battle. I also joined a gym and started exercising. Exercise is the key, but that takes time as well to get into a routine. I am still fighting that because of my schedule, kids, activities, school, etc., but it can be done. Just stick to it and don&#8217;t let insensitive people discourage you. Keep the faith!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Floyyd wrote, &#8220;eat less move more.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp; Regime said, &#8220;Being overweight is not just about the physical, it&#8217;s also about what is going on with a person&#8217;s psychological issues.&#8221;&nbsp; Hurtadop agreed, &#8220;As for losing weight, you need to consider your mental status. I was very depressed and couldn&#8217;t get out of bed, no energy and I like to exercise. Once I got out there! It&#8217;s that first step getting mentally ready and getting there. I pray for ENERGY.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I totally agree with these readers: weight loss involves eating well, moving, and especially, emotional, mental and spiritual resources and practices.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks so much for your great posts.&nbsp; As always, I read everything.<\/p>\n<p><b>Please return here every day.&nbsp; I plan on writing about emotions and psychological points with losing weight soon, and often.&nbsp; And suggest this newsletter and blog to your friends and co-workers, please.<\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each week, at the end of the week, I try to feature weight loss comments from our readers that I think are right on-track.&nbsp; These tips are sound advice from people who are in the process of being healthy.&nbsp; I hold these high for you to see, and for all of us to learn from.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":171,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,12,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diet","category-spirituality","category-weight-loss"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Weight Loss Truths: Comments of the Week - Dr. Norris J.
