Many are the organic or psychic problems that arise in obese individuals. Faced with this discomfort generated by obesity, anxieties are frequently reported by patients in discourses that revolve around diet and the body, loaded with frustrations that refer to failed diets to cope with the overvaluation of an ideal body in contemporary society. In this sense, it was perceived in clinical reports a repetition, a vicious cycle that patients have difficulty interrupting. Most of these subjects reported, in group and individual care, that they have food as a substitute for "something", a "void" that needs to be filled, because they eat even without being hungry and with a sense of loss of control over the act. For this reason, after this repetitive behavior, they have feelings of anger, shame and guilt. This article aims to investigate the discomfort observed in obese people treated individually in the private clinic and private institution, as well as in group care. Knowledge about anguish in relation to the obese body is sought, in order to foster discussions based on psychoanalytic orientation, using the Freudian and Balintian methodology during group care
