N2 - The global epidemic of obesity and being
overweight (Globesity) is rapidly becoming
a major public health problem in many
parts of the world, since it is often associated
with many related chronic diseases
(Wadden et al., 2002) including diabetes
mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension,
kidney failure, osteoarthritis as well
as psychological problems such as depression,
feelings of shame, low self-esteem,
and stigma (Byrne et al., 2004; Riva et al.,
2006a; Manzoni et al., 2008; Villa et al.,
2009; Capodaglio et al., 2010). Obesity and
being overweight are also frequently connected
with Binge Eating Disorder (BED),
a psychopathological disorder characterized
by frequent and persistent episodes of binge
eating characterized by loss of control over
eating within a discrete period of time, and
significant distress.
