Sickness can come to anyone at any time in any place. There might or might not be a premonition. Therefore you could find yourself at nearly the finishing point of your weight control program when sickness falls upon you. You might then be required to give up food intake control because it harms your wellbeing in the long term. This can be quite discouraging because we all wish to finish the projects that we have started. At the same no one wants to come from one set of wellbeing issues only to create another. Weight control programs can be very difficult to complete and you do not wish to have all your efforts thrown down the drain because you have been surprised by the presence of yet another sickness.
The first thing to recognize is that enjoyable existence is much more important than following any weight control program. You might consider that you are rescuing the fruits of your hard work by continuing to follow the weight control program despite the issues with the weight control program in terms of your general wellbeing. The fact is that if you are dead from a sickness all those weight control programs that you were following mean absolutely nothing and will all fall by the wayside. When riding a wave of euphoria about the success of your weight control program you should not forget that the principle of enjoyable existence is to live it. If you cannot live your enjoyable existence then whatever wellbeing you are trying to protect will be useless.
If I were advising anyone, I would tell them to follow the entire clinician’s instruction if they are food intake control and then they happen to fall ill. They should avoid listening to untrue counsel that may lead them into death for the sake of saving a few pounds. In any case the sickness may be such that you end up losing too much anyway so that the weight control program becomes an unsustainable problem for you.
If people saw food intake control as wellbeing issue rather than less serious issue, we would have a lot more success with weight loss and even general wellbeing than we have now. The problem is that these days’ people look at weight loss primarily as a means to avoid criticism about excess fat on the body or to find clothes that fit. This attitude removes the emphasis from improving your wellbeing in all the major aspect of your enjoyable existence including the physiological, psychological and social aspects. Food intake control should be seen as being crucial to your general wellbeing plan.

Cultural Attitudes to Weight

Why is it that some people do not mind a bit of weight while others get so worked up by it? I usually visit parts of Africa where women seem to enjoy themselves even if they have some weight. There it seems that the fatter you are, the better it is. I even overheard some men who say that they would never marry a thin woman because they believe that she would not be able to have children. When someone overweight walked in, people would compliment them on their figures and then generally look at them with admiration. As for the thin ladies, there were no such things as people often asked them whether they were ill or they had specific problems that were stopping them from putting on weight.
I don’t know whether it is just a cultural thing because even in sports, there are some people who are considered to be fat by European standards but on African standards they are absolute babes. A case in point is the tennis super star, Serena Williams. People keep saying how out of shape she is, yet in Africa she is considered to have an exceptionally good figure. It seems that the issue of whether you are fat depends on where you are standing. If you are in an area that does not like fat, then it is easy to be classified as overweight whereas if you are in an area that accepts thin as being the best then you have to work to get to that figure. It can all get a bit confusing.
It would be a terrible thing if people could not live in their own culture because the fat fascists have taken over. I mean what right do people have to tell others that they do not want to see them fat? What kind of nonsense is that? I think it is just common sense to be able to reduce some excess weight whenever you can. However this does not give people the right to be cruel to overweight people. I get so annoyed when people who seem to be thin by the grace of good attempt to put down other people who just happen to be heavier than them. There is a kind of arrogance that believes that everyone has to resemble them in order to have any kind of value or to be worth looking at in any shape or form.
