Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
As described in the literature, people with obesity seem to have less self-compassion, as they present excessive self-criticism and shame, beliefs of inadequacy, lack of control and defectivity, in addition to compulsive attentional bias. Bearing in mind that such conditions are important for the maintenance of obesity, techniques that aim to help the patient to identify and re-signify these beliefs can be more successful in their treatment. Thus, the intervention in Compassion Focused Therapy plus the Food Reeducation proposed in the present work, can lead to a set of changes in the belief system, in the emotional response and also in the attentional bias of the participants' cognitive processing. It is expected that the group submitted to the intervention will present better rates of self-compassion, body shame and disturbed eating (cognitive restriction, emotional eating, uncontrolled eating and grazing).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
As secondary outcomes, participants are expected to achieve some weight loss and improve of depression, anxiety and stress simptoms.
