Dealing With The Results Of Weight Loss

It may seem to be a strange contradiction but there are some people who lose a lot of weight and then are still not happy with the way they look. I know of one lady who was very much in need of losing weight and she worked very hard. It took her over a year to lose a lot of the body fat which she had accumulated over the years and when she lost so much weight, we were all so proud of her, with the exception of her husband.

For some reason which we have yet to figure out, her husband managed to get it in to his head that now that his wife had lost so much weight, she would either cheat on him of leave him for someone else! No matter how much she lovingly reassured him and then finally told him to stop being so stupid and to grow up, he was fixated on the idea of her being unfaithful and started to make life miserable for both of them.

He was determined not to let her out of his sight and even followed her to work where he would wait around and observe who she talked to and what she did in her free time. Things got out of hand eventually and his behaviour caused him to try and make her a prisoner in her home while claiming that he loved her and that she looked so nice. She often said that she regretted losing the weight in the first place but she was determined not to regain it as she felt so much better in herself and wanted to stay fit and healthy. Things worked out fine after they attended counselling sessions and he managed to overcome his issues of abandonment.

While this is not a common incident, there are other reasons as to why people lose weight and then are unhappy. One of these is that along with weight loss, you need to ensure that you tone up your body because rapid weight loss can lead to the sagging of skin into unsightly folds and these can only be removed with the help of cosmetic surgery. This is where you have will have heard of terms such as having a tummy tuck and using skin tightening procedures. Both of these procedures involve invasive surgery to some extent, in order to remove excess skin or to just pull and stretch the shin and then fasten it in a way to make the area tighter and smoother.

Another area in which weight loss can have negative effects is the formation of stretch marks, and although these are usually associated with rapid weight gain, rapid weight loss can also cause them to appear in certain parts of the body. This is where you can avail yourself of the services of professionals dealing with beauty once again and have a stretch mark treatment to try and reduce the appearance of them.
