Abstract

Descriptive and qualitative study using an intra-subject experimental design. It verifies the effect of selfcontrol

training (TA) on the behavioral factors that influence overweight and describes the variables that interfere in

reaching the individual goals. The TA was applied to obese women that were patients at an public hospital in Vitória-ES,

Brazil, during 12 week group sessions. From 10 patients that enrolled the TA, the behavior of five of them was analyzed.

The results points out to favorable changes in familial, interpersonal, and personal relationships and emotions. Behavioral

modifications were related to weight loss such as eating behavior and exercises that produced modest consequences on

obesity.
