Is Your Boyfriend Making You Fat?
“the fifth behavior is being happy:
Behavior: You’re Happy
Research shows that what’s good for your heart may be bad for your hips. A study published last year in the journal BioPsychoSocial Medicine found that happy people were less likely to succeed at losing weight than those with a “slightly negative and cautious outlook.”
The fix: Weigh in oftenThese people are really worried that part of being happy might be learning to love and be comfortable with yourself as you are. I know it’s unfathomable that fat women can be happy, but damn. The fix is so chilling—weigh in often so you can see if those numbers go up, thus creating anxiety and unhappiness, jarring you out of your happy “complacency.”
That is depressing. Be careful, ladies! You could become so happy that you’ll forget to hate your body!
