Research shows Helen is
not alone, 1/3 of overweight women say they feel they have been treated
differently as a result of their weight.
Almost half (47%) of British women surveyed said they find themselves
faced with endless teasing, 43% believe that others deem them to be lazy
while 28% say they have actually been excluded from a social occasion –
all because of their size.
The research by XLS-Medical Fat Binder, a new naturally derived,
clinically proven weight loss aid, also found that 1 in 10 say not
having a ‘healthy figure’ has meant they have missed out on job roles
and a fifth said people consider them to be unintelligent.
Top reasons where people say they are treated differently when overweight include:
• Not complimented on their appearance (51%)
• Teased about their weight (47%)
• Thought of as lazy (43%)
• Excluded from social occasions (28%)
• Considered to be unintelligent (20%)
Helen Lederer, one of Britain’s best known comedy character actresses
and comedy writers, who turns 58 this month, can identify with this and
is concerned that her profession will not accept her being old and fat!
The fat ceiling
Helen is more than aware that her weight has impacted on whether she is
considered for high profile acting roles as well as her other work in
the public eye. Three months ago she embarked on losing weight with
support from new XLS-Medical Fat Binder. She comments: “I have always
been curvy and conscious of my weight. In the acting industry you have
to get used to rejections but as my weight crept up I became more aware
that I was being asked to fewer auditions and was most definitely being
overlooked for mainstream jobs. Being rejected affected my confidence
and my self-esteem took a real knock. I am thrilled to report that I
have lost two stones in the last three months by following a healthy
balanced diet, exercising and taking XLS-Medical Fat Binder which has
helped me lose more weight than I would have lost on my own.”
Age is not just a number
The research also found that nearly three quarters (74%) of people find
it more difficult to lose weight as they get older, something that Helen
can also attest to: “When I was younger my weight used to fluctuate a
lot more and it was easier to shed a few pounds in time for my next
audition or social occasion. But as I’ve got older I’ve really noticed
how much more effort I need to put in. Finding the motivation to get
started on my weight loss journey was the real difficulty as the pounds
don’t drop off as easily as they once did.”
Leading UK Dietitian Helen Bond and Consultant Dietitian to the
XLS-Medical free online weight management programme, ‘123 hello me’,
comments on why older women find it more difficult to lose weight: “Your
body changes as you get older and your metabolism gets slower. Many
people find they are less active than they were in their 20s and if you
haven’t altered your diet to reflect this then you are likely to find
yourself putting on weight. Helen Lederer has demonstrated that you
don't need to make drastic changes; just a few small steps can make a
real difference.”
Eliise Lindsay, Celebrity Personal Trainer and Fitness Advisor to the
XLS-Medical weight management programme comments: “This research has
shown that there are some real prejudices against people who don’t have
the stereotypical perfect figure. We are all different shapes and sizes
and there’s no one perfect size. What is important is for people to feel
happy and comfortable with their bodies. By following a healthy
balanced diet and taking regular exercise people will find themselves
getting in shape without any unnecessary pressure,” adds Eliise. “Light
to moderate exercise at least twice a week will help people to feel
fitter and healthier. And a weight loss aid like XLS-Medical can help
dieters lose up to three times more weight than dieting alone – a useful
support to help people on the way to reaching their weight loss goals.”
To support dieters on their weight loss journey, the 12 week XLS-Medical weight management programme, 123 Hellome, provides a wealth of advice and exercise tips as well as tools such as diet and exercise trackers.
