Resumo: Objective: to learn how obese children perceive and experience the condition of obesity in everyday life. Methods: qualitative research carried out with 14 children aged six to ten years. Data were collected through open interviews and subjected to content analysis under the thematic modality. Results: three categories emerged: Body self-perception of obese children - showing the dissatisfaction with physical shape; Recognizing the effects of obesity - portraying the difficulties experienced and how much excess weight interferes in daily life; and Seeking alternatives to lose weight – describing the initiatives (not always correct) of the children and their families for weight reduction. Conclusion: children see themselves as overweight and this condition interferes with their daily lives, the practice of physical activities, social relations and mental health, when there is bullying at school or at home.

Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com 14 crianças entre seis e dez anos de idade. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista nos domicílios e submetidos à análise de conteúdo, modalidade temática. Resultados: emergiram três categorias: Auto percepção corporal de crianças obesas – mostra a insatisfação com a forma física; Reconhecendo os efeitos da obesidade – retrata as dificuldades experienciadas e o quanto o excesso de peso interfere no cotidiano e; Buscando alternativas para redução do peso – descreve as iniciativas (nem sempre corretas) da criança e sua família para redução de peso. Conclusão: as crianças se reconhecem com excesso de peso e esta condição interfere em seus cotidianos, no desenvolvimento de atividades físicas, nas relações sociais e na saúde mental, quando existe bullying na escola ou em casa.Rev Rene2018-03-27T12:26:01Z2018-03-27T12:26:01Z2018info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfBORGES, F. et al.
