For lasting weight loss, it is much
better to understand what different types of people are going through. The
so-called ‘fatties’ is one of these groups of people.
There
are several types of fatties that we can see out there. One is the glutton, who
takes in a lot of food since the taste is good. This type of person has
problems with lasting weight
loss because he/she eats with much gusto and likes every bit of it. To a
certain degree I am part of this particular group. And then there is the fatty
who eats as a result of his or her life view which is not good at all, and at
times eats out of boredom thereby making it difficult to have a lasting
weight loss for him or her.
Even though the food is not really appealing for him/her, he/she just keeps on
eating because through it he or she doesn’t have to face the anxieties, fears,
insecurities, and others who want to see him or her when he or she is at his or
her lowest, which also leads to problems in lasting
weight loss for him or her.
In my case I think I am part of the second group. However, there is another
aspect to this, which brings me to the next category of fatties with possible
struggles in lasting weight
loss.
The
self and the body are the major problems these fatties have to face. As a child
they were made to believe that they were less than perfect, and less of a
person in turn. One speculation is that they could have been sexually abused.
The feeling of not being deserving, or even lower or worse than dirt are
instilled in them. As a result these women with histories of sexual abuse
resort to destructive habits such as alcohol smoking or drugs. Aside from this,
being an underachiever is another effect of having experienced the situation.
Also, turning into a blaming machine is another consequence, wherein they tend
to put the blame on those who were supposed to care for them but didn’t when
they needed it most. In a nutshell, all these experiences lead to the decrease
in the quality of life, love, joy, esteem, dignity and respect, among many
others.
The
experience of being touched, albeit innocently, but with intentions that are
sexual in nature is one description of sexual abuse. Unconsciously these
private thoughts may be projected to children, who then seemingly hear such
thoughts unconsciously. Another is the touchers, who perceive children as
adults who can also be touched in the same manner, thereby making it
inappropriate in turn.
