Almost everyone, regardless of our weight, BMI or our pants our size, we have heard many times that that “chubby are happier.” Similarly, in the prominent belly we call “the curve of happiness”.

In recent days we have read in various media, and watch some TV network, articles and reports that refer to a study recently published in the journal BMC Medicine, conducted by researchers at King’s College London that I certify that the fat does not bring happiness, quite the contrary, excess weight, obesity, ultimately, is one of the main causes of low self esteem.

The lower our self-esteem more likely to be obese. That is far from fat happy and happiness curve.

When we want little, when our self-esteem is disappearing, the tendency is to be established what might be described as an increasingly pathological relationship with food.

This finding may allow the design of strategies to prevent obesity in which not only involve advice on diet and exercise, but include a psychological problem.

They also note the study’s conclusions that the trend is greater in women. In the vast majority of cases of female obesity and morbid obesity are more or less important, problems of self-esteem and loss of hope. Moreover, this becomes a vicious circle, as the degree of obesity increases, the person takes care less, want less, is less attractive and less on trying to trace the situation. Thus self-esteem drops to levels almost sunk and obesity becomes more severe and more difficult to treat.

It is therefore essential, support any anti-obesity treatment, or prevention of obesity, with psychological support. Essential always recover and boost self-esteem while being cared for and recover fitness, balanced weight and eating habits and healthier life.

As for the treatments recommended for tackling obesity and return the person to his natural weight and shape, the gastric balloon (or BIB) is one of the most recommended.

This is so for several reasons but the most important are that

* Is not a surgical procedure and therefore is not aggressive to the body
* The gastric balloon is not permanent, but temporary, and therefore the patient must make an active part in your weight loss
* During the time that the gastric balloon is implanted in the stomach, the feeling of satiety reduces anxiety and allows the person can resume healthy eating habits gradually
* Weight loss occurs at a pace that motivates a person to maintain the effort and discipline to eat a balanced and reasonable quantities.

Happiness is equilibrium, and the balance must be both physically and emotionally and psychologically, if some aspect of our lives is something wrong, provided that lack a negative impact. Obesity is the product of disequilibria and therefore, we must restore balance to regain self-esteem and, thus, the path to happiness.
