Behavior Modification And Obesity
Obesity is often compared to the
other chronic diseases such as
heart disease. Research states that
if it can be caught in time, it can
be treated. People who are
following treatment must be
consistent. Those individuals that
are obese and severely obese are
going to have to take a much larger
effort for them to change.
It is not only a complete lifestyle change but it is also a physical and
psychological change. They have to change the way they think of
themselves and about food. It can be very hard for them to do and follow
on a continual basis. For it to work, the individual has to want to
change. No one can force the person to change. Obesity is not something
that one gets over night. Obesity is the cumulative effect of years and
years, sometimes ones whole lifetime, of overeating for various reasons.
It is often recommended that those seeking the lifestyle change seek
professional assistance as well. Part of a good weight loss program is
behavior modification. It is often a change to the strategies one uses
when one tries to get the motivation to do physical activity or eat
properly.
Most of these programs include self-moderation by using a food journal.
In a food journal, the dieter is responsible for writing down every single
piece of food and drink they consume over a 24 hour period, every day.
It is also suggested they keep an exercise journal as well, detailing
walks, taking the steps instead of the elevator, and any other forms of
exercise. This allows the dieter to actually see what they are eating and
doing. Many people do not realize how much they eat over a 24 hr
period. By keeping these journals, it makes the person consciously
aware of it.

Trying to change the way you eat, the way you even think about food is
hard. Millions of people try every year and fail. Some are successful, but
the failures far outweigh the successes. That is why behavior
modification is necessary.
People have to learn that they can no longer fall back on food as a
crutch when they are feeling stressed, depressed, and/or anxious. They
can turn to other ways to relieve these emotions. Hopefully this will help
them to stop making unrealistic and unattainable goals. People need to
realize they can reward themselves for small successes and not always
beat themselves up and struggle 100% of the time.
Through behavior modification and therapy, people struggling with
obesity can come up with a plan that allows for success. This plan
should include things like including their own personal beliefs and
history, working in conjunction and frequently with a doctor/
nutritionist/ or other health care provider, keeping personal journals,
setting attainable and realistic goals, allowing appropriate rewards, and
focusing on what is important. Joining a support group, such as Over
eaters Anonymous or Weight Watchers, can often offer a lot of emotional
support when trying to get through the hard times.
