When it comes to weight, people are always very sensitive about it. Most everyone I know seems to be dissatisfied with their weight, whether they're too heavy or too light. Personally, I was always underweight and for years, I made an attempt to gain weight. Working an office job managed to help me gain weight, as I'm a lot less physically active than my old jobs as well I'm not in school anymore when a lot of walking was required to get around campus.
I tend to see 3 major reasons that people worry about their weight. These reasons being how you appear to others, how you appear to yourself or for health reasons.
For me, I didn't like the way I looked to myself. A guy who is 6'1-6'2 shouldn't be 150 lbs or less, and it bothered me enough to make a serious effort to gain weight. Then after a year and a half at the desk job, I fattened up to about 195 lbs, which I then felt was too heavy. So then I made an effort to skim some weight. I was walking at first, then I took to riding an exercise bike. Now I tend to fluctuate from 180-190 lbs, which is a great range for a guy my size, so I feel great now about my weight.
So my question to you is which of these 3 reasons makes you worry about your weight? Is it how you look to others, how you look to yourself or do you worry for the well-being of your health?
