Peace River Bariatrics: Misconceptions of obesity.

MISCONCEPTIONS OF OBESITY

Obesity is a disease that society has surrounded with numerous misconceptions. In the video, Bill mentions that he believes: “The biggest misconception about obese people basically that they are lazy.”

Some other misconceptions you may have heard include that obese people are:
· Lacking self-discipline.
· Always eating junk food.
· Indecisive.
· Unsuccessful.
· Unobservant.
· Less competent.
· Less productive.
· Disorganized.
· Unintelligent.

In turn, this can lead to your personal feeling(s) of:
· Unattractiveness.
· Discontent.
· Guilt.
· Depression.
· Self-blame.
· Social withdrawal.
