Abstract in brief

  • The study found that feelings of shame, self-criticism, and social comparisons are linked to negative emotions that can impact eating behaviors and struggles with weight management in overweight women.
  • These negative emotional factors, especially shame and feelings of inadequacy, influence disinhibited eating and hunger, which can hinder weight loss efforts.
  • Conversely, self-reassurance and positive social comparisons are associated with better self-regulation, less disinhibition, and greater weight loss during a weight management program.]
