Book excerpt: This book opens with an overview of dieting and its relationship to self-esteem and body image. Here, the author explores the negative and destructive side effects frequently experienced by obese women as a result of dieting. Alternative interventions to dieting are then explored and the weekly Beyond Dieting programme, the core of this volume, is introduced. Subsequent chapters present an evaluation of the Beyond Dieting program (purpose, analyses, comparisons and variables of outcome) and a discussion of the characteristics of the sample study. The overall effects of the intervention and implications of the findings provide an illuminating perspective on the treatment of obesity – one that suggests striving for positive self-image rather than thinness as the key to well-being for obese women. For the many health practitioners caring for obese women, this perspective, with its practical application, will prove to be an invaluable resource.

Book excerpt: Young women experiencing depressive symptoms were shown to have different constraints to being active compared to young women without depressive symptoms, such as lower motivation and lower confidence in their ability to be active. Physical activity promotion initiatives may benefit from individually-tailored, multi-component programs rather than a 'one-fits-all', single-arm approach.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has witnessed an alarming rise in overweight and obesity within the past twenty years. It is currently estimated that two-thirds of the population is now overweight with one-third being obese. In conjunction with obesity, the United States has also seen an increase in depression in recent years which is defined as feelings of intense sadness, which include feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and worthlessness that can last from many days to many weeks keeping an individual from functioning normally. One major contributing factor to both of these issues may be a lack of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to compare fitness and adiposity scores in individuals who were classified as depressed, or non-depressed. The data for this study was drawn from an Illinois State University archive data using past Kinesiology and Recreation Personal Fitness (KNR 113) students (n=141). Subjects were assessed for depression via the Beck Depression survey, obesity via body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%), and waist to hip ratio (W/H). Cardiovascular fitness was assessed utilizing a one mile walk test which was converted into a maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). Muscular strength and endurance was assessed by maximal push-up and sit-up tests. Results showed no differences in sex between low depression (LD) and moderate depression (MD) groups. Significant differences between low depression and moderate depression groups were found in BMI (LD = 23.75) (MD = 25.42) and BF% (LD = 22.23%) (MD = 26.05%). No significant differences were found in muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular fitness, or W/H between low depression and moderate depression groups. It is concluded that BMI and BF% is associated with higher depression scores in both men and women, yet there is no association between depression status and physical activity scores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychotherapist of 30 years, Nancy Ellis-Ordway explains how she helps people get off the weight loss roller coaster, make peace with food and their bodies, and improve their health to find happiness and a better quality of life. Widespread publicity about "the war on obesity" has led to pervasive anxiety, distress, and shame about eating, says psychotherapist Nancy Ellis-Ordway. Many people feel at war with their bodies rather than at home, in large part because of weight stigma and the unrelenting pursuit of thinness in America. This book offers a detailed approach for change, with a particular focus on "the message we give ourselves" when we eat, exercise, and interact with other people. This process incorporates operating from an internal locus of control as a way to improve self-esteem. Elllis-Ordway, in contrast to the "diet mentality" that is full of restrictions, first has clients focus on building self-esteem and growing a desire for self-care. She teaches clients to develop an ability to "listen to their own bodies" for guidance to eat for physical and mental health. The better we listen to and fulfill our body's needs, she explains, the better our self-esteem and health becomes, and the more we believe we are "worth it" and are able to meet our objectives.

Book excerpt: Research shows that the association between depression and obesity may be strongest among the most obese individuals. Appearance is a central evaluative dimension for females in Western culture, therefore body dissatisfaction can contribute directly to depression. Adolescents and females are at greater risk for self-esteem problems because body image is an important component of their self-esteem. The present study will add to the existing literature on adolescent obesity by examining the associations between family functioning, self-esteem levels, and depression in a self-selected sample of female adolescents who attended a weight-loss program. More specifically, this study will investigate how high and low levels of self-esteem and family functioning affect depression levels. Reasons for such an investigation are to increase the awareness of the effects and causes of depression levels among obese children and adolescents. A total of 45 obese adolescents with a mean age of 13.32 years participated in the initial evaluations (baseline measures). Fifty-three percent of the participants were Caucasian, 22% were Hispanic, 20% were African American, and 4% were multi-racial. The mean BMI was 34.04 kg, and ranged from 25.80 to 56.17. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine a relationship between body image and depressive symptoms and between self-esteem and depressive symptoms. The analysis produced a significant relationship between self-esteem and depressive symptoms, t(39) = -7.20, p .001 and between body image and depressive symptoms, t(39) = 2.52, p

This book was released on 2011 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: There is epidemiological evidence for a strong association between obesity and insufficient leisure-time physical activity and low levels of occupational activity in industrialized societies. Women are more likely to be physically inactive and overweight, and thus, we need an effective approach using behavioral theories to help sedentary overweight/obese women adopt and maintain regular exercise. Project CHANGE (to being a Confident, Healthy, And Goal--directed Exerciser) is an 8-week intervention with 4-week follow-up that targeted constructs from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and addressed both behavioral strategies and physical skills. A total of 25 eligible participants were enrolled in Project CHANGE and were randomized to two treatment conditions: Self-Determination Theory-based exercise training plus behavioral intervention (SD group) or standard care (SC group) with traditional supervised exercise training. The final sample size was 21 (NSD = 11; NSC = 10). There were 2 dropouts from each group. Participants completed fitness assessments and questionnaires to measure physical activity, quality of life, depressive symptoms, SDT constructs, and other established psychological mediators of exercise, such as self-efficacy and goal setting. The results showed that the weekly energy expenditure did not differ significantly between the groups at post-intervention when baseline PA was controlled. However, the majority of the participants in the SD group remained active at the 4-week follow-up assessment and met the public health PA recommendation. The treatment effects on the psychological variables were limited when controlling for baseline values. For both groups, integrated regulation, perceived autonomy support, and exercise goal-setting significantly increased over time. Exercise planning had a tendency to increase, but not significantly. Scheduling self-efficacy was significantly higher in the SD group than the SC group, regardless of time. In the follow-up analysis, we categorized all the participants into two groups based upon exercise adherence, defined as exercising>= 150 min/week at the 4-week follow-up (i.e., adherent group and non-adherent group). Participants in the adherent group had significantly greater autonomous motivation (i.e., intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, and identified regulation), scheduling and coping self-efficacies, and self-regulatory techniques (i.e., goal-setting and planning) compared to the non-adherent group. Confidence and ability to self-regulate were important for exercise adherence. Goal-setting was the most influential predictor among these variables. The results show promise and warrant additional testing of Project CHANGE as a method to help overweight or obese women start and further maintain exercise behavior. A higher fidelity SDT intervention with larger sample size is necessary to examine the treatment effect and the proposed SDT causal pathways.

Download or read book Examining the Associations Between Depressive Symptoms Body Mass Index and Physical Activity Self efficacy in African American Mother child Dyads written by Y'Esha Vonyae Williams and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearson product moment correlation coefficients were estimated to determine associations between variables that were sampled from underlying normal distributions. Spearman correlation coefficients were estimated to assess correlates of maternal BMI because data from this variable did not reflect sampling from a normal distribution. Results indicated positive correlations between children's depressive symptoms and their BMI Z-scores and their mothers' depressive symptoms. More depressive symptoms in children were related to having a higher BMI Z-score and a mother with more depressive symptoms. Results also indicated important correlations for the children's physical activity self-efficacy with their depressive symptoms, their BMI Z-scores, and maternal depressive symptoms. Although several associations were found between the children's physical activity self-efficacy and their depressive symptoms, BMI Z-scores, and maternal depressive symptoms, researchers should cautiously rely on self-reports of physical activity self-efficacy from younger children given that some children had difficulty understanding the self-efficacy measure. Findings suggest that the associations between depressive symptoms, BMI, and physical activity self-efficacy in African American mother-child dyads merit additional examination as such research studies may inform future approaches to prevent and treat obesity and depression in this population.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: Previous studies examining the relationship between depression and physical activity have been epidemiological in nature and have measured physical activity subjectively. The purpose of the present study is to examine the association between objectively measured physical activity and depressive symptoms. Methods: The study sample included 24 sedentary obese participants (3 male, 21 female) with elevated waist circumference and one additional cardiovascular risk factor. To assess depression, participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Average steps/day were measured over the course of 7-consecutive days using a Lifecorder Plus pedometer (Lees Summit, Missouri). Pearson correlations were performed to evaluate the association between average steps/day and depression. Results: The study sample had a mean (SD) body mass index of 34.7 (± 4.2 kg/m2), a mean steps/day of 5310.6 (± 2041.3 steps/day), and a mean PHQ-9 score of 3.0 (± 2.6). Average step counts were not significantly associated with PHQ (r=0.17, p=0.44). Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that there is no association between objectively determined step counts and depression. The present analysis may be limited by a constrained range of physical activity levels and depression scores, and the small sample size.
