The psychological problems caused by "obesity" are also very cruel to children. A longitudinal follow-up psychological test of 8000 kindergarten children in the United States shows that children who start to gain weight in kindergartens have obvious social discomfort and low self-esteem problems by the third grade of primary school. Twenty years ago, the average age of girls who first learned and tried to lose weight was 14 years old. Today, the average age is 8 years old. In the school bullying incident, more than 1/4 of the bullies were the little fat people in the class.
Obesity brings social problems.
Job hunting and courtship are the hardest hit areas for fat people. More than half of the human resources managers interviewed admitted that they were unwilling to recruit fat people because they felt that fat people represented laziness, lack of self-control, being more vulnerable to work-related injuries due to mobility difficulties and being more likely to be absent due to illness. Other things being equal, they will choose the thin one.
Fat people are often rejected by the opposite sex when dating. Relatively speaking, fat women are hit harder in the dating market: the opposite sex is unwilling to date for the purpose of marriage.
Traditional weight loss brings greater risks.
Obesity will bring so many psychological problems. How about losing weight? And! Slow down! Losing weight is a more dangerous field. People who are losing weight are the target group of eating disorders (bulimia and anorexia, etc.). ) and physical obstacles (illusory cognition of your body shape-thinking that you are too ugly and too fat). The mortality rate of eating disorder anorexia is as high as 10-20%.
Bulimia is a more common eating disorder. A quarter of women have experienced bulimia at some point in their lives: their desire for food rebounds after being suppressed, resulting in various overcompensation behaviors. Patients often use laxatives or vomit after overeating in an attempt to expel food from the body. These behaviors are very harmful to both body and mind.
Weight changes caused by weight loss often lead to depression. Many people can lose weight at first, but once they stop trying, they will rebound. At this time, they are even more reluctant to return to their state of trying to lose weight, and they are getting fatter and fatter in feelings of guilt, shame and self-blame. In other words, the life of fat people is unpleasant and full of disease risks. But blindly losing weight is not the real solution.
