It’s not just our bodies that need to be fed. Our self esteem can also use a virtual meal everyday to keep us feeling happy and complete. But how do you feed self esteem? Not with a pint of ice cream or box of cookies, but with a positive opinion of yourself and a willingness to understand your own emotional needs.
One easy way of feeding our self esteem is to do the little things for our appearance that keep us feeling confident. For some people, outer appearance upkeep, including keeping your hair trimmed, painting your nails, losing weight, applying make-up and ironing your clothes, solves this problem.
A more substantial way to feed your self esteem is to think about all the things you like about yourself and make a list of them. These can be both physical and personality traits that make you feel proud and confident. Placing a higher value on these aspects of yourself rather than fixating on those you may not like can help you see and appreciate yourself in a whole new light.

Nick's Story
"I wish I would have come here first. We spend all our time reacting to the next great weight loss tip or program. It might work for a while, but does not last and we end up yo-yoing from one fad to the next – as we gain more weight." Read More

Lost 60 lbs
"Dr. Ziltzer and everyone who I have come in contact with at the Scottsdale Weight Loss office have been so encouraging and I look forward to seeing them each week. It is now a year and 2 months later since I started. I am down 60 lbs., which is the average amount a 9-year-old weighs, it is crazy to think I lost a whole person! I feel amazing, I hit my goal weight in November 2021 just before Thanksgiving. Nothing on my body hurts anymore..." Read More

Lost 101 lbs
"Here I am at the lowest I have been since high school weighing in at 155lbs. I have lost 101 lbs, BMI of 39 when I started, to 21.6, and of course at body fat % of 47.1 to 26.5%. I told myself by my 30th birthday I wanted to be confident in the way I look and I owe it all to SWLC. The entire staff is so welcoming and they are rooting for you just as much as you are rooting for yourself...." Read More
