Many people do not want to gain excess weight, or in other words, to be overweight. The background of this reluctance may be aesthetic concerns such as looking fit, looking beautiful, and having a beautiful-attractive body. Or it may just be thoughts such as being healthy and having a healthy body. For this or any other reason, the individual may be afraid of gaining weight and therefore does not hesitate to take some precautions, such as visiting a dietitian. Recently, almost everyone has seen themselves trying to lose weight or going on a diet, at least once, at some point in their lives. We live in an age where people have diet lists, efforts to comply with these lists, research on the internet, and visits to a dietician. As I said, if we poke around a little bit, maybe everyone will come up with a story like this. And indeed, this story can sometimes last days, sometimes weeks, sometimes months or even years. In this process, the person who thinks about losing weight is fighting a war. This war is with the weight numbers shown on the scale and the calories of food and beverages. They make a lot of effort to be the winner of this war. For example, I can almost hear you say. For example, slimming teas; For example, walks, runs, exercises, resulting in sweating and fatigue; For example, like shopping lists given by a dietitian. Of course, these are serious efforts. So, are these efforts rewarded? Sometimes, an individual eats extra food during a day when he cannot stop himself and all these efforts are in vain; It may cause the determination to comply with the diet to be broken. As a result, the diet can almost turn into a story that the person will tell other people. So the diet may end, so to speak. So, does this ending bring with it some psychological problems? When a person fails to follow the diet list, it may cause feelings such as failure, despair, irritability, anger, and some disorders such as lack of self-confidence and social phobia, and may even lead to decisions such as never going on a diet again. The fact that an individual manages to lose weight but cannot maintain the weight he has lost is one of the phenomena we encounter quite frequently today. Maybe they can even gain more weight than they lost.
If the individual has a frequent desire to eat, the person's weight problems may be psychological. Therefore, if a person decides to lose weight or go on a diet and goes to a dietician, he/she should not forget to get support from a psychologist. If someone says, "I can't stop eating, I feel bad when I don't eat, there is an emotional bond between me and food, as I mentioned above, I often go on diets but I fail," if he says, "I feel weak when I don't eat, but I also need to lose weight or I want to lose weight," then definitely, definitely. should not forget to get psychological support from a psychologist. I've been on diets many times, but it doesn't work. No matter how many times I tried to change my lifestyle, it failed. If you say that the first weeks are going well, but then you become unhappy, restless, angry, and have difficulty standing, you also need a psychologist.
As I mentioned above and gave a little hint, there is an addiction to food, just like a cigarette addiction, in the psychological infrastructure of gaining excess weight, getting fat, reaching obesity, in short, eating. For this reason, unfortunately, people cannot get rid of their excess weight. Because food or drink has become an indispensable addiction for the person. Especially if things are too sweet, too salty or fried (e.g. French fries). So how does this addiction develop? Let's say the individual had an argument with the person he loved and liked. Meanwhile, there is a dessert (anything sugary) in front of you. When you eat dessert, you feel a sense of relief. Later, when he has a different problem, he thinks that he felt relieved after eating the dessert. Gradually, addiction to sweets develops. As a person eats dessert and gets rid of the problems he is experiencing, even temporarily, a schema is formed in the mind. Sweet becomes something that gets rid of troubles, troubles and problems. The individual who goes on a diet is aware that he should not eat too much sweet, otherwise the diet will fail, but thoughts of sweet, sweet, sweet come to mind. The person stuffs the sweet into his mouth so that no one can see it. You can imagine how much the person will regret it afterwards. But still refuse to eat dessert It doesn't. And the diet fails. Feelings of anger, irritability, resentment, hopelessness, hopelessness and failure begin to dominate the person. He then says that a dessert will go well and tries to soothe his sadness and anger with dessert. Of course, I gave an example of dessert. This could be something salty rather than sweet, or it could be something fried. After that, the person starts to follow different diets and go to different dietitians. He even repeats some of his attempts. Therefore, this situation turns into a vicious circle. In such a case, instead of dieting, the person resorts to taking medications that suppress appetite or various nutritional supplements that claim to help you lose weight. And the person does in the end what he should have done in the first place. He decides to go to a psychologist.
Sometimes, the individual observes his body seriously and does research on his body, especially in the waist area, like a professor. They even go so far that if something negative happens in their lives, they attribute it to this issue. Therefore, they can declare themselves unsuccessful because of this. As a result, different psychological problems such as self-confidence may arise. Sometimes it can be the opposite. In other words, the person sees the excess weight of his body as unimportant and can ignore it. When someone makes a comment about their body, they can either respond to these comments calmly and with great anger, or with serious anger.
If the individual thinks about what he eats and what he does not eat, and if his mind is constantly preoccupied with this, after going to the dietician. Then, if he constantly has different (wanted) meals in his mind rather than a diet list, if the food is attacking his mind, if he prefers to eat in his stomach rather than in his head, if he changes his dietitian frequently, if he secretly stuffs it into his mouth, if he is addicted to food, if he does not feel relaxed after eating. If you feel like you are feeling sick, are very concerned about your body, constantly think about overeating, think that diet lists do not work and are trying to implement crash diets, you should definitely not forget to get psychological support from a psychologist. Because going on a diet is already a difficult task in itself. It generally tires and strains the individual. In addition, after each failure, the person becomes further away from the goal. becomes whiter. He gets tired of the diet day by day. In addition, going to a psychologist and getting psychological support does not necessarily indicate that you are crazy, sick, suffering from psychological disorders, that there is something wrong with your mind, that you are mentally ill, or that you have lost your mind. Many people do not prefer to go to a psychologist just because of these thoughts, and unfortunately, they knock on the door of a psychologist after the problem has become very big (when it could have been easily solved when it was younger), and it has become very messy. On the contrary, going to a psychologist is a very intellectual phenomenon. It's something more socialite. It is an activity preferred by smarter people and intelligent people. Therefore, instead of constantly changing our dietitian, going to different dietitians and trying to apply different diet lists, applying crash diets, wearing out the body (maybe unmanageable diseases will occur), wouldn't it be more beneficial to go to a psychologist while going to a dietitian? Wouldn't it make our job easier?
