Abstract

Obesity has become a disease little heard although it gives thousands of alerts before arriving. However, some human beings in today's society ignore it completely, being this a cause of multiple effects at the level of health, in some cases leading to death. This research is born out of the great concern that arises when observing the number of people who are overweight and still do not show interest in it, they do not even consider it as something serious, without knowing that being overweight is the process by which they reach the obesity. The objective of this research is to know what are the beliefs against the overweight that an adult woman from the city of Cali has at risk of obesity. Generally, people who are overweight, have unhealthy lifestyles. The question seeks to answer through a semi-structured interview, of a phenomenological nature, in a 30-year-old woman from the city of Cali, who is currently overweight. This interview is divided into six categories, which allow you to give an order to the information. The answers reflect that the woman interviewed is mobilized from her own subjective beliefs, directed from possibly cultural or social representations because there is no credibility in relation to the health system. Finally, overweight is increasingly increasing because, as it is not something dangerous for society and those who suffer from it, it is an issue that is ignored, and there is concern when you are in obesity, which as mentioned above It can lead to death.
