Obesity, Genetics, Depression and Weight Loss
There are a lot of different opinions and strong emotions when it comes to the topic of obesity and weight loss. This article is simply another opinion about obesity in America. By writing this article, I am not trying to convince anyone of anything; I’m just trying to give you something to think about — perhaps a new idea.
The statistics regarding obesity in America are alarming. Currently, 35 percent of American adults are obese (CDC, 2012), and that number is projected to rise to over 50 percent in most states by 2030 (Henry, 2011). We’ve been fighting the so-called “war against obesity” since the 1980s, and yet despite all of our efforts, the problem has only gotten worse. Clearly, what we’ve been doing to try to solve this problem isn’t working and is possibly making it even worse. In my opinion, the reason for this is that the psychological piece hasn’t been addressed yet and until it is, we will have an increasing problem on our hands.
Years ago I was seeing a client who we’ll call Sarah. Sarah was very obese and desperate to lose weight. Her doctor had recently told her that if she didn’t lose a significant amount of weight she would lose her mobility as well as have a host of other medical consequences. Sarah tried numerous diets and exercise programs but nothing worked. She even enrolled in a weight loss clinic but had no success. She actually ended up gaining even more weight during this time. Not knowing what else to do, Sarah’s doctor told her that she needed to talk to a therapist.

GCNova: Diet Culture and Body Hatred
In this video, Melissa A. Fabello, a representative for Miss Representation discusses Diet Culture, and the idea that advertising and the media depends on women hating their bodies to make money. She gives some fabulous statistics in the beginning on how grossly popular it has become for young girls and women to suffer from body hatred and eating disorders. She says: I like this last statistic because how many times do we hear, well look at how many "fat" Americans there are, of course they need to be on a diet. Let's get real. First, only 18% of adolescents according to this statistic are actually considered to be obese, and this doesn't tell us whether it's talking about a specific gender or not. Second, in my opinion, the arguments are completely different. Obesity is a class issue and is primarily a socioeconomic argument. The media does not tell us let's all eat Burger King so we can be fat! Thu, the two arguments are different. We must not combine America's obesity problem with the...
