One finding in the current study that surprised her, however, was that women who didn’t perceive themselves as overweight and who read the “Lose Weight or Lose Your Job” article subsequently reported feeling significantly more in control of their food intake afterward. “This may partly explain why some people who’ve never had an issue with weight and feel in control of their eating think that weight stigmatizing messages ought to cause people to eat less,” Major says. “For them, these messages have that effect. But for people who don’t feel in control of their eating, these messages have the opposite effect.” - Overweight women overeat when news media call them lazy University of California, Santa Barbara, Posted by Andrea Estrada-UCSB futurity.org/weight-loss-messages-can-pack-pounds/?utm_content=buffer446af&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer
