dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Overweight people are often able to lose weight with the help of professionals, but majority (about 85
%) of the weight losers fail to maintain behavioral changes that would lead to favorable results in the
long term [1‐3]. Studies suggest that obesity treatment failures may reflect motivational and contextual
impediments to weight loss, rather than limitations of the behavior change strategies per se [4, 5]. A
stronger emphasis on motivational factors within a behavioral weight maintenance program offers
promise for improving long-term outcomes. The motivation-focused approach has been shown to be as
effective as the successful standard skill-based method in weight maintenance [5]. Specific attention on
eliciting and supporting personally relevant motivation for weight management can be used to promote
internalization and the sustaining of autonomous self-regulation [5].
Social situations can have an impact on compliance with dietary advice [6]. Interestingly, overweight
cardiac patients more often reported cognitions and expectations as reasons for their difficulties
to eat healthily in social situations than patients with normal weight [6]. This suggests that it would be
useful to study weight losers’ cognitions in order to better understand success and failures in the
maintenance of weight loss. [Continues, please see the article.] | |
