What do you think? As the title says, I hate how this saying is thrown around way too much. After loosing 20kg (sw 98kg, cw 78kg) I can tell you that of course It doesn't solve all your problems or make you magically happy.
What loosing a large amount of weight does to your mood is that it first of all makes you feel comfortable. Its this inner equilibrium. When you're larger, existing is uncomfortable. Standing, walking, sitting and breathing all feel like you're a maximum capacity ballon. That feeling goes away.
The saying is the truth, but also a lie. The happiness people like to confuse weight loss with is that it doesn't heal their with longterm depression. The type of happiness you do feel is for example in clothes being a lot looser, or old items fitting a lot better. My personal favourite; unlocking new bone definition and tendons. I stare at my hands way too much, I feel the bones in my back and I look at how hollow my armpits are. Those things are the real small happiness moments that loosing weight brings.
