We are in an era in which it is common the increase of bodies exceeded by its weight, in many cases caused by the hyper-intake of food, that is, held under the mark of excess. This suffering that can be presented as a way of responding to something of the own, of a painful nature, in the absence of symbolic resources that allow other ways of responding, less destructive, to that feeling of discontent related to the loss. This is a condition in which the symbolic function that the Other operates through the link with food becomes essential, as a precedent in which the psychic resources are generated to symbolize the discontent. This paper is elaborated as part of the advances of a doctoral research project.
