AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION 2013 STATS
Among Americans 20 and older 154.7 Million are overweight or obese. 79.9 Million Men 74.8 Million Women
Of these, 78.4 Million are Obese 36.8 Million Men 41.6 Million Women
![Page 13: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
THE COST
‘The total excess cost related to the current prevalence of adolescent overweight and obesity is estimated to be $254 billion ($208 billion in lost productivity secondary to premature morbidity and mortality and $46 billion in direct medical costs).’
- American Heart Association

THE DIS-EASE OF OBESITY
Meets the 4 criteria for being classified as a disease:
1. Primary Diagnosis- Not a secondary symptom of something else; independent
2. Progressive- It gets worse over time….
3. Chronic- It does not go away (surgery =remission) There is no Cure.
4. FATAL- It will kill you
![Page 15: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LIVING WITH THE DISEASE OF OBESITY Obesity is visible wherever you go Everyone can see your disease (Obesity
walks in the door with you.) Most overweight individuals are
malnourished due to the types of food they consume, most commonly high in fat and sugar and low in nutritional quality
Most obese individuals feel the need to excel in another aspect of their lives (professional, caretaking) in order to compensate for their feelings of inadequacy on a personal level

GOOD FOOD VERSUS BAD FOOD “Good” Food: When I eat good food, I am a good
person. Does not taste good Healthy foods, vegetables Organic, expensive
“Bad” Food: When I eat bad food, I am a bad person. Higher in calories and fat Has the ‘yummy’ taste Activates the reward center of the brain These are foods we ‘crave’, setting us up to feel bad
about ourselves and entering the cycle of shame. We enjoy them
![Page 25: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
HUNGER. APPETITE, AND SATIETY
Hunger- Indicated by the body as an innate need to nourish our bodies.
Appetite- Desire to eat created through the senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hear.
Satiety- The state of being full or gratified.
We have difficulty in a society of plenty distinguishing between hunger and
appetite.
For many individuals, the ability to recognize our own satiety has been lost.
![Page 26: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

FOOD RITUALS AND SOCIALIZATION
Our exposure and relationship to food includes Sunday Dinners/Brunch Sporting Events Events (celebrations/holidays/losses) Family Reunions/Vacations Eating in front of TV Lunch/dinner with colleagues/friends/church
family Boredom Business meetings
![Page 28: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
EMOTIONAL AND MALADAPATIVE EATING BEHAVIORS (MESSINA & MESSINA)
Romancing: involves exposing one’s self to activities attached to food. (reading cook books, watching cooking shows, putting self near food related activities)
Stress Reduction: utilizing food to reduce unwanted stress and anxiety. Nervous energy is reduced by eating foods high in sugar and fat.
Comfort Effect: eating invokes a positive psychological effect when one is feeling depressed, angry, bored, out of control, lonely, shamed, or overwhelmed. This becomes your ‘go to’ food.
![Page 29: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
EMOTIONAL AND MALADAPATIVE EATING BEHAVIORS (MESSINA & MESSINA)
Craving Relief: Food cravings stimulate anxiety, this is reduced by consuming the craving food, generally high in sugar and fat.
Self-Sabotage: successful weight loss, or any successful experience, may create anxiety if one’s self worth is negative. Weight loss and compliments triggers memories. (Personal fear of success- ‘can I maintain this’)
Family of Origin: early childhood experiences, food availability, and family rules all influence eating habits.
![Page 30: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
EMOTIONAL AND MALADAPATIVE EATING BEHAVIORS (MESSINA & MESSINA)
Binge Eating: short intense episodes of overindulgence of food. Compulsive in nature, subconscious drive to relieve anxiety/fear
Over Eating: continuing to eat after one is full. May develop from use of food to reduce stress and anxiety. May also stem from habits resulting in lack of awareness in satiety.
Mindless Eating: Eating as an automatic response to rituals of daily living (daily routine, snacks, etc)
![Page 31: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
EMOTIONAL AND MALADAPATIVE EATING BEHAVIORS (MESSINA & MESSINA)
Food Restriction: rigid limits around particular foods or categories of foods can result in a stronger than normal desire to consume these foods. We often romance off-limit activities that we find attractive, creating a fantasy and yearning.
Grazing: impulsive eating throughout the day because food is easily accessible. Usually taking in more calories than intended.
![Page 32: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
THERAPEUTIC CONSIDERATIONS

ADDRESSING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD
We tend to go to what is familiar F A M I L Y
Create Food Relationship History relationship history with food - describe memories
related to food as a child, teen, young adult, living independently
meal atmosphere (tension/relaxed) did family eat together / fend for yourself
any food items restricted/prohibited what did you learn about types of food any significant problems
Understanding the connections to certain foods or rituals……
![Page 34: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
THE WARNING SIGNS OF A ‘BAD RELATIONSHIP’
Pre-eating Identifying a feeling – I eat because I love
food Eating Alone Obsessive thoughts/preoccupation Secret Eating- hiding food/wrappers Dating food Making excuses/minimizing
![Page 35: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
C O D E P E N D E N C Y
I don’t know where I end and you begin
If you’re happy, I’m happy What if I took care of me first? Doesn’t that make me selfish?
I’m responsible for everything and everyone
I’m afraid or unable to say “No”
Fear of rejection Doing out of obligation and not desire/want
I can swoop in and fix it ALL or NOTHING Mentality
I have no purpose if I’m not taking care of others…..I need you to need me
![Page 36: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ADDRESSING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF
Why diets and surgery alone do not work: Accepting self comes separate from weight
loss. The power of a scale Redefine healthy
Family history of obesity- were there comments about body /what was your body image?
“I am good enough”
![Page 37: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
TREATMENT PLANNING Develop a support system Short term goals How does the client want things to be
different – what are you willing to do? Identify belief systems that do work Self talk – what does that sound like? (+
vs -) Re-define Healthy
stop dieting - develop food plan exchanging habits assignments (benefits
lists)
![Page 38: Anisa Grantham, LPC, NCAC Rincon Recovery resources, llc](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814969550346895db6bd75/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
TECHNIQUES FOR CLIENTS
Keeping a food journal what are you eating how much what time of day what's going on in the
moment what are you feeling FitBit/fitness pal/apps Measuring progress
differently Moving on purpose
Identify trigger food abstinence - get it out
of the house making peace with
food what do you need it to
do for you- trust yourself to do for you
how has it served you how has your weight
