Fast fixes do not work in the long run

People with persistent pain, understandably, want to do away with it. They want it to go away like any of the numerous other conditions in their lives. In the past, symptoms such as pain have become ill or wounded, but symptoms have tended to subsides with time. Often people have been seeking health and receiving various therapies in these situations and then their symptoms have gone away. They could continue their lives as a result. These past experiences then inform how they feel that their persistent pain should be approached.

When it happens, all seems good: mission fulfilled. The loss of weight also gives them relief, satisfaction and a renewed feeling of living.

What if weight returns? It turns out to be relatively easy to lose weight. It is difficult to keep the weight off. Quick weight loss is common, and it can work for good for a fortunate few. However, people tend to gain weight back most of the time, and they are where they began.

With their weight recovered, they also experience additional emotional distress. They're upset, faulty, frustrated and upset. The future doesn't look bright anymore.
