6 Psychological Factors More Harmful to the Figure Than Sweets

Being overweight does not always indicate an unhealthy diet or lack of physical activity. It is true that with proper nutrition and proper training, certain successes are achieved. But if the deeper psychological causes of fat deposits are not removed, then the result will not last long. Find out the most common ones.

Before you put on a few pounds, it's up to you. Naturally unconscious, but the body consults with the subconscious and together they decide that the excess weight will be beneficial, the so-called "secondary benefit".

1. Protection from the surrounding world

In this case, the fat deposits have the role of protecting them from the dangerous and harsh world around them. Often, the extra pounds start to build up after stressful situations: dismissal or loss of housing, divorce, childbirth, relationship difficulties, death, financial difficulties, and so on.

In this case, being overweight becomes a barrier between the vulnerable inner part of man and the outside world. The subconscious will do everything in its power not to train you, not to eat healthily, or then you will lose this protection.

2. It increases its significance

What does the one who thinks that no one sees, hears, and takes him seriously do? How to increase its significance? "I will grow up, then you will not be able to ignore me.

My intimate area is always violated, then I will expand and fortify it! ", The psyche said, and the body fulfilled. The self-defense strategy is widespread in the animal world when they swell their feathers or raise their needles. It looks imposing. Excess weight is a defensive reaction only for people who do not appreciate themselves.

3. Suppresses sexuality and attractiveness

If a woman of any age has been a victim of violence, then she may need extra pounds as a kind of link, which makes you unattractive and protects you from repeating the unpleasant situation.

Specialists in psychosomatics (the science of the connection between the mental and the physical) have observed that fat deposits on the thighs, pelvis, and abdomen indicate a deep rejection and rejection of one's femininity. If lately, you have noticed that you are losing the taste of life, at the same time the extra pounds have come, then pay attention to this point.

4. Strengthens the position in the family

Many women gain weight quickly not only after the birth of the child but also after they get married. If in the first case you can blame the hormones, then in the second it is more difficult.

The carefree lifestyle of a young woman simply changes with that of her mother and head of the family. Can she be frail and limp? No, it must have weight, literally and figuratively.

5. More independence and power

Sometimes the sudden accumulation of weight starts from the moment when the woman assumes obligations in the family, which are not specific to her. For example, making money in large numbers. If for some reason the woman cannot afford to be frail and gentle, then she has to be strong, and strong means big.

6. Fill in the blanks

If the person feels that he is missing something in life, then he tries to make up for it. As a consequence, it can be an addiction, a vice, or digestive dysfunction. If he is not loved enough, then he will try to pamper himself through food. He will try to fill the vacuum inside with some material from the outside.

But all this hides a simple truth, we do not love and appreciate each other properly. We do not understand how the psyche works and what influence it has on the body.

The psyche must not protect its master by such inadequate methods. Man must know how to cope with stress; to maintain self-confidence; to live in agreement with people and not to depend on their opinion; to take into account his needs; to put no one and nothing above his security - both physical and psychological; not to hide his head in the sand because of the hardships of life, not to ignore them, but to try to solve them, no matter how difficult it may be.

Be more aware and healthy.
