Experts in the field of psychology argue that excess weight most often appears due to our mental attitudes, and not because of the consumption of fat. It's hard to believe, but sometimes our body thinks that extra pounds are vital for it!
The reasons for overweight according to psychologists
Doctors identify 7 signs that a person is overweight for reasons other than overeating:
1. Significance and importance. There is even such an expression “to have weight in society” - this is how we talk about significant people, those who can influence the solution of some issue. Which of us would not like to “have weight” in this interpretation?
The body literally perceives such a desire and begins to rapidly gain kilograms. In addition, our visual perception of the world confirms this theory: as a rule, the powerful of this world, indeed, are often overweight and obese.
2. Protection. Our brain protects our vulnerable soul with excess weight, it seems to wrap us in a warm big blanket. All insults are inflicted on us by people, thus the body relieves its owner from communication, which arises at the level of physical addictions.
So, overweight girls enjoy less attention from men and believe that if they have taken possession of the interest of men, but only with their inner world and charisma, which means that the relationship should be more serious.
3. Freedom. It is believed that overweight people have much more freedom of choice. They do not need to worry about what they have eaten, about missing a visit to the gym, about their social circle, since the attention of others is not riveted to them. This is not true. But sometimes we adhere to this position, hiding behind it laziness and unwillingness to take care of ourselves.
4. Lack of faith. Often, the treatment of excess weight consists only in explaining that weight loss is possible. Many fat women say that “in our family everyone was big,” “you can't argue with genetics,” “bad heredity,” and so on.
In fact, completeness is not inherited, only a predisposition to obesity is transmitted. To defeat your disbelief, you need to take care of yourself and see that the kilograms go away if you follow them.
5. Unusual view of completeness. If it seems to you that obesity suits you and, losing weight, you become less attractive, then it is not surprising that the weight is gaining. The brain takes in your signals and does as you ask.
6. Stress. Food is a great way to bring yourself back to a state of comfort and peace when passions are raging. Overweight women are often the seizure of problems that you do not want to solve or that cannot be solved at the moment.
7. Stereotypes. In childhood, strong kids are praised, and slender ones are forced to eat and constantly ask their parents if their child is sick. These attitudes are firmly entrenched in our heads, and therefore weight, as evidence of our well-being, comes and comes.
