Melbourne, February 7 -- Obese people are uncomfortable with their bodies, but they seem to be powerless when it comes to getting into shape.
A recent study has revealed that most overweight people blame themselves for their condition, but they find themselves too helpless to do anything about it.
The study led by Monash University involved 141 obese Australians who were widely interviewed regarding their perception of their own weight and how they think they can manage it.
Dr. Samantha Thomas, Head of Monash University's Consumer Health Research Group and co-author of the study, said that people who were severely overweight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of more than 40 were often found to be battling their own bodies.
