What Is Obesity?

Obesity is an excessive or abnormal accumulation of fatty tissue that often compromises health. It is attributed to an imbalance in caloric intake and use of energy. Genetics is considered a contributing factor, alongside reduced physical activity, metabolism, sleep issues, and eating habits^[1].

In the U.S., it is estimated that about one-third of adults and about 17 percent of adolescents are obese. One out of five adolescents, one out of six elementary school-age children, and one out of 12 preschoolers are obese. This condition is associated with a number of dangerous health conditions including diabetes, sleep apnea, and cancer^[1].

How Mental Health Can Affect Your Weight

When it comes to answering the questions, "How did I become overweight?" and "How do I achieve weight loss in a healthy and sustainable way?" the answer is rarely simple. The truth is that there are many causes of obesity, and finding the right means of helping you lose weight can require addressing those specific causes.

For example, abnormal sleep patterns, alcohol abuse, and depression can all contribute to obesity^[1]. Stress can also play a role^[2]. Meanwhile, patients should understand that weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery can actually have a detrimental psychological impact without the proper counseling^[3].

Using Psychological Support and Guidance to Lose Weight

A Comprehensive Approach

Dr. Bober can work with your primary physician, trainers, dietitians, and therapists to coordinate a plan to lose fat and gain lean muscle tissue. This plan will cater to both your physical and psychological needs. When necessary, Dr. Bober can also prescribe medication to help you lose weight.

Set Attainable Goals

It's easy to start weight loss treatment believing that you will fail. Therapy focused on realistic goals can help you feel confident in your ability to achieve weight loss, and Dr. Bober can help you set the right goals regarding your diet and exercise routine. Achieving these goals can be a powerful way to remain motivated and establish healthier habits in your life.

Get the Right Perspective

Your treatment plan will help you keep a positive outlook. Instead of declaring yourself a failure when certain goals are not met, you can become able to focus on why they weren't achieved and make changes in order to stay on track for success.

An Holistic Approach to an Issue That Affects Billions Worldwide

The World Health Organization reports that about 1.9 billion adults worldwide are overweight and 650 million are obese. Many of these men and women are heeding the warnings and beginning to take action through a variety of treatments, but often find that losing weight can be incredibly difficult.

When used along with an exercise routine and improved nutrition, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment designed to give you the tools you need to make positive changes. Dr. Bober can coordinate a CBT-based approach to help you lose weight and begin a new phase of improved physical and mental health in your life. This can include the use of prescription medication, depending on your needs.
