Even the fashion industry has realized it by now: being reed-thin is neither a reliable sign of health nor of beauty. That is why today we also enjoy the sight of attractive, full-figured women who stroll down the catwalk just as gracefully as their slender colleagues. Even if a model figure shouldn't be the goal, many people have the desire to lose a few kilos.

If you want to lose weight, do it with sense and reason

It is generally known that the miracle pill for weight loss does not exist, even if manufacturers promise otherwise. Numerous advertised diets are also often pointless. Weight loss coach, nutritionist, and (diet) psychologist Richard Hartmann from HappyHealthy.de has dealt intensively with the topic of weight reduction. So far, he has helped thousands of people achieve a slimmer and healthier body. Anyone looking for suitable weight loss methods on the internet should know that there is a lot of contradictory information to be found there. Therefore, it is recommended to use only tips that have a proven scientific basis.

Self-esteem – the be-all and end-all for accepting your own body

The media today no longer deals only with ultra-slim top models, but also lets plus-size models have their say. Many of them want to share their experiences with other women so that they can finally make peace with their bodies and themselves. For example, the Australian Olivia Langdon says: "Your self-esteem has nothing to do with your figure or clothing size." Like many of her colleagues, she had a long struggle behind her before she accepted herself in her own skin.

Society contributes a good deal to the fact that the path there is strewn with stones. The beauty ideal with the measurements 90-60-90 still haunts their minds. Women and men who have to struggle with a few extra pounds often inevitably learn what discrimination means. To counter this with self-confidence, no diet is required. Rather, you have to work on yourself, and that doesn't happen overnight.

Tips for feeling comfortable in your own body

When implementing the following tips, you should have patience with yourself; it doesn't happen overnight.

  • you should regularly do something good for yourself
  • you can also extend care to yourself
  • work on a proud posture
  • choose comfortable clothing
  • movement: it doesn't have to be sports, a walk now and then is enough to feel happier
  • do not constantly make comparisons to others
