本定性研究旨在探讨人们如何体验他们的肥胖，并探讨这对他们减肥动机的影响。参与者（n = 46）要么目前肥胖，要么曾经肥胖，并就他们的经历进行了采访。参与者描述了肥胖对他们自我认同的影响，并使用了“丑陋”，“怪胎”，“仇恨”，“斑点”和“厌恶”等语言，这些语言反映了他们体重的普遍负面影响。他们强调了与食物的复杂且往往矛盾的关系，并描述了这种负面体验是如何从他们的肥胖和污名化的社会背景之间的动态中产生的。然而，有些人认为，这种耻辱感也可以通过促进和鼓励行为改变而产生积极的影响。因此，许多肥胖的人，由于生活在一个侮辱他们的社会环境中，他们的体重经历了深刻的负面影响。结果进行了讨论的成本和收益的耻辱和支持之间的平衡，宽容，并在促进减肥的勾结。
The present qualitative study aimed to explore how people experience their obesity and to explore the impact of this on their motivations to lose weight. Participants (n = 46) were either currently obese or had been obese and were interviewed about their experiences. Participants described the impact of obesity on aspects of their self-identity and used language such as "ugly", "freak", "hate", "blob", and "disgust" which reflected the pervasively negative impact of their weight. They highlighted a complex and often contradictory relationship with food and described how such negative experiences were created out of the dynamic between their obesity and a stigmatising social context. Some, however, suggested that such stigma could also have positive consequences by promoting and encouraging behaviour change. Many obese people, therefore, experience their weight in profoundly negative ways as a result of existing within a social context which stigmatises their condition. The results are discussed in terms of the costs and benefits of stigma and a balance between support, tolerance, and collusion in promoting weight loss.
