Obesity – its not what we think it is.
So… lets unpack some of the bias and beliefs we have assimilated
about this weighty matter.

But first
Lets sit for a moment, take a deep breath and come into the
present.

Mindful self compassion (Kristen Neff)
Is a key strategy for learning self care and acceptance.

Upon reflection for this talk……
I realised that much has changed – yet somehow
things are still the same.

So
What do we see when we
look at this wound?
Is it the same thing the
patient is seeing?
What has provided us with
the skills to determine what
this specific wound
requires?
How do we know which
product to use?

Could obesity be the same?

Or
Does our own perception, belief system
and privilege trip us up?

Currently approximately 82% of Health Care
Professionals (HCP’s) have a demonstrated
bias or prejudice toward their obese and
over weight patients (R.Phul 2016, Y Freedhoff 2016)
![Page 11: “Why diets don’t work” - NZWCS · “Why diets don’t work” ... Take in the whole picture, blood work, level of exercise, amount of sleep, support networks available. Determine](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042922/5f6dc7d8b9c5ee45414ddce1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The dominant binary suggests
Being within a healthy
weight range is good Being fat is bad
![Page 12: “Why diets don’t work” - NZWCS · “Why diets don’t work” ... Take in the whole picture, blood work, level of exercise, amount of sleep, support networks available. Determine](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042922/5f6dc7d8b9c5ee45414ddce1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
However
Over 3000 patients have
proven otherwise to me.
While each story has been
unique the experience of
shame and isolation was
universal.
The language and
treatment from fellow
HCP’s was frequently
derogatory and shaming

This experience
Underpinned the
next six years of
inquiry and study
which resulted in a
gradual shift in
perspective,
practice and level
of therapeutic
patient
relationships.

Obesity is
A physiological
adaption to
our current
environment.

Weight loss attempts create
Decreased calories =
Increased hunger =
Increased Ghrelin and other hunger hormones/ decreased leptin =
Less satiation =
Increased food seeking =
More self denial and disassociation form mind body cognition =
Increased cortisol, C-reactive protien, A1c =
Increased level psychological/physical distress =
Increased hunger
Binge eating =
Increased neagative self talk =

Which in turn leads to
Depression
Anxiety
Low sense of self worth and value
Poor body image and self acceptance
Self harm (disordered eating, substance abuse, selflessness)
Suicdality
Isolation

Self Value = Self nurture

Where to from here
Focus on Health at every size.
Acknowledge the the situation verbally and ask the
patient where they are at with their weight/health
situation.
Take in the whole picture, blood work, level of exercise, amount of sleep, support networks available.
Determine how is stress managed – what are the main
distracting behaviours? This is a better place to start than with nutrition or lifestyle advice.
