“…Given the ideal in Western culture of the slim body attitudes towards people with obesity are sometimes characterised by disparagement and stigmatisation because of the associations between obesity with moral failing and lack of self‐control . As a result, many people with obesity are prone to have a reduced quality of life , psychological problems , low self‐esteem, poor body image , blame and shame and guilt .…”

Scand J Caring Sci; 2020; 34; 514-523 Putting life on hold: lived experiences of people with obesity Obesity presents challenges in everyday life, one of which involves the existential aspects of living life as a person with obesity. There is a need for understanding the existential experiences, but there is limited in-depth research about these experiences of people with obesity. The aim of this study was to gain deeper insight into the existential experiences of people dealing with obesity. We performed a qualitative study that included in-depth interviews with seven men and 14 women with obesity (body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m 2 ) aged 18-59 years. The study took a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach in which the participants' own experiences formed the basis for understanding their lifeworld. The lived experiences of people dealing with obesity were characterised by several existential challenges. One overarching theme-Putting life on hold when struggling with obesity-was developed based on three themes: The body as an impediment to living the desired life, to being oneself and to moving on in life. These findings illustrate the complex existential experience of life, body and existence faced by people dealing with obesity. Based on these findings, we discuss whether people with obesity who experience 'putting life on hold' are attuned to live their life to the fullest in some areas. Their embodied experiences seem to challenge them to experience the joy of life, to appear as a whole self and to live life in the moment. Reflecting on obesity in the context of life and life phenomena seems to provide deeper insights into the existence of people living with obesity and may help to advance a more comprehensive approach in obesity health care.

“…Individuals suffering from morbid obesity who make decisions about changing habits to promote weight-loss, often perceive this action as a continuous endeavour that requires external support (Borge, Christiansen, & Fagermoen, 2012 ; Dansinger, Gleason, Griffith, Selker, & Schaefer, 2005 ).…”

BackgroundMorbid obesity is a progressive, chronic condition associated with failed attempts at change and repeated relapses.AimThere seems to be little previous research into the understanding of the everyday life of morbidly obese adults. We wanted to gain more knowledge about characteristics of eating habits and body image as well as motivational forces for change.MethodsA qualitative approach was chosen in order to gain insight into how morbidly obese adults experience everyday life. Qualitative interviews are well suited to provide insight into themes from the interviewee's life story from the subjects’ own perspectives. To gain insight into such processes, a narrative approach that allowed the informants to give voice to their ways of doing, thinking and feeling in daily life, was adopted. The informants comprised seven women and four men aged of 26–56 years, recruited from a population of obese individuals who had participated in a weight reduction course. A hermeneutic approach was used where the research question was the basis for a reflective interpretation.ResultsThe following meaning-units were identified: to be perceived as overweight; and to see oneself as overweight. Ingrained habits: the struggle between knowing and doing; acting without knowing; and eating is soothing.ConclusionsSeeing oneself as an obese person is a gradual process that implied experiencing oneself as different from significant others, such as (slim) siblings and friends. To experience a gap between knowing and doing concerning food habits in everyday life indicates that informants value they have a choice. This is an important insight to consider when framing interventions to support this vulnerable group.

“…Likevel var det krevende å endre livsstil og takle utfordringene operasjonen medførte. Borge, Christiansen og Fagermoen (2012) fant at motivasjon til livsstilsendring påvirkes av inngrodde vaner som står i motsetning til hvordan personen ønsker å handle og at støtte fra helsepersonell er nødvendig i denne endringsprosessen. Dersom man ikke har innsikt i hvordan vanene påvirker helsen, vil en heller ikke oppleve grunn til å endre vanene.…”
