Artists depiction of fear of weight gain
Artists depiction of fear of weight gain. In the healthy full-grown adult, body weight remains more or less stable. A fear of gaining weight is most common in women and characterizes the eating dis- order, anorexia nervosa. Anorexia is also known as " slimmers disease". It affects teenage and young adult women who may see dieting as a way of controlling their lives. Sufferers tend to be obsessional in their habits, and some specialists suggest that anorexia is a true phobia about putting on weight. However, a fear of weight gain may also afflict those who already are overweight, or those who are obsessive about their physical appearance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Science Photo Library depicts the fear of weight gain, a common concern among individuals, particularly women. The artwork showcases the struggle faced by those with anorexia nervosa, also known as "slimmers disease" which predominantly affects teenage and young adult women. These individuals often perceive dieting as a means to control their lives. The image portrays the complexity of this disorder through abstract elements such as testing, scales, and measurements. It highlights how sufferers become obsessional in their habits and suggests that anorexia may be a genuine phobia related to gaining weight. However, it is important to note that fear of weight gain can extend beyond those who are underweight or have eating disorders. This fear can also afflict individuals who are already overweight or excessively preoccupied with their physical appearance. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Science Photo Library aims to shed light on the physiological and psychological aspects associated with body weight concerns. By exploring these themes within the context of art, we are encouraged to reflect on society's perception of beauty standards and its impact on our mental health.
