Is This Debt Making Me Fat?
It has become more common for professional to say that debt will cause weight gain. And I have always known that the problem was bigger than just eating too much. There is usually something going on in our lives that we are treating with food. And for me, I guess I would have to admit it was debt. Even after having gastric bypass surgery, I was still left with the same problems I had before my weight loss procedure.
While I did lose 82 pounds, I was one of the people that was able to gain weight once all the dust cleared. My weight has bounced around for the past 2 to 3 years. At my highest, I regained 25 pounds and a few years ago I lost 19 of it and kept it off for a year. In the past year I have gained again. Now, I am on the way back down again. Hopefully, for the last time this time. I do believe that a lot of the problem does stem from my debt. But I am now starting to get a good handle on that also.
I am happier with my life now than I have ever been and this is the biggest motivator to accomplish other goals. I have a goal board and I have the capacity to reach my financial goals by selling some of my websites. I have more sites than one person can effectively manage and I am willing to part with some to eliminate a few of these smaller debts. I had never really thought about selling these sites, but if it is going to get me ahead financially and emotionally, it is time. Some of these sites are being ignored. With 30 to 60 days of TLC, I can make enough off of these sites to some financial obligations off in the next 60 day.
I have also set some weight loss goals that should be very attainable. I need to lose about 35 more pounds and I should be able to do that as long as I don’t encounter major stress or disruption to my schedule. These are things that tend to make me want to compulsively overeat. I also have to set some business goals and I am not really sure where I want to go with that. The one thing I know is that I need to form an LLC and I am going to do that before the end of the year. Most likely it will happen in about 90 days.
If you have debt and you have gained weight since you incurred it, there is a good chance your debt is making you fat. It is time to research your options and find a debt relief plan that will fit your situation.
