17 Things To Lose and Improve Your Life
One way to improve your life is to lose (and maintain) weight. There are other ways that are deeper and more meaningful things to lose to improve your life. In fact, many reasons that we emotionally eat are based in aspects of our lives that we don’t like, want to change but don’t, and to self-medicate ourselves from one (or all) of the things on this list. In general, most people would rather gain than lose. In this case, as in weight, when you lose anything on the list below, you experience huge gains as you’ve improved your life.
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” ~Confucius
Just as Confucius says, you don’t have to undertake all 17 items on the list. Even though it looks like a simple list, it isn’t. Just by losing one of the items on the list, you will substantially improve your life. Pick one, for example, comfort eating (aka a form of emotional eating). Take a few moments right now and think about your life if you lost the habit of eating for comfort. That’s just one item on the list but is a huge one that would dramatically improve your life.
