OBESITY - CHILDHOOD RELATIONSHIP
Experiencing physical violence and sexual abuse during childhood can also cause obesity. The person sees excess weight as armor that protects his body from external factors. May consciously or unconsciously refuse to lose weight. He/she may be resistant to quitting the weight loss diets he started in a short time and starting again.
He/she has a negative self-concept and his/her social functions are impaired. Such experiences contribute to the development and maintenance of obesity. If parents exert excessive control over the child's eating behavior and force them to eat, inadequacy in the development of the child's self-control systems over the eating process occurs. When parents or other external control factors are removed, these children lack the external control that protects them from overeating.
