The contribution and salience of these factors above will also differ from person to person. While it is generally accepted that in the the majority of cases, people get to this diagnosis of being ‘obese' from consuming more calories than they expend, there are plenty of different ways they achieve this. Obesity is caused and perpetuated by an interrelated and often complex combination of factors. Losing and maintaining a lower weight should be considered as multifactorial issue. This is the first trap that people might fall into. When it comes to the management of obesity however, it is not helpful to view it with such simplicity. Obesity can technically be defined as a case of excess adipose (fatty) tissue. I believe that an absolutely key part to achieving ‘maintenance’ of a lower weight is learning to think, speak and feel differently about both food, exercise and yourself. The issue is not so much weight loss, as it is maintenance of that loss. Many of the clients I work with have lost lots of weight. It will boost your chances of maintaining change, something which is a far more challenging prospect than just losing weight in the first place. It will make everything else much easier. While you will have to do this as well as doing and eating all the right things, there is an upside to learning to think differently. That is, if you are serious about wanting to lose weight and keep it off, you have to stop talking (and thinking) like a ‘fat person’. I want to try to convince you of something important.
