The causes of excess weight do not always lie in the wrong lifestyle and physical diseases . They can touch both the psycho-emotional state of a person and certain beliefs. Yes, psychological trauma, dissatisfaction with appearance and tribute to traditions often lead to obesity, said the psychotherapist.

According to him, this series of non-obvious reasons can lead a person to impulsive overeating and gluttony. Trying to get rid of some emotional pain or dissatisfaction, some people start to eat these problems. And they really feel better, but not for long.

“In my practice, there were several cases when women came with the desire to get rid of obesity. They gained weight from 60 kilograms and more. Impulsive overeating, which led them to obesity, was driven by the unbearable pain of the death of a child or other relative. The patients began to blame themselves for what had happened, and ate away the pain,” the psychotherapist explained.

Another reason may seem contradictory, but it actually exists. This is dissatisfaction with one's appearance. If a person associates problems in his personal life with his appearance, considers himself unattractive, then he begins to feel abandoned, and the pain from this – eats away. At the moment of chewing food, he calms down a little thanks to the stimulation of the parasympathetic system. However, the state of rest does not last long, so you have to eat again, the doctor explained.

The third reason for obesity, according to the doctor, is connected with the Soviet beliefs that you need to eat everything to the end, and sometimes for good. , or with a person's loyalty to such foundations in the family. Yes, the “distant voice of the 40s” can push people to overeat, when people tried to eat to their heart's content when they had access to food. Children who live with such parents sometimes have to agree with a similar vision of relatives.

In these three cases, it is necessary not only to start playing sports, but also to work with thinking with specialists. It is important to gain new positive experiences and get rid of pain in other ways, the doctor noted.
