Abstract
To investigate obese men's health behaviors and strategies for change. Qualitative interviews with 36 men (BMI 30 and over). All men felt personally responsible for their weight gain. Sedentary lifestyles, stress, lack of worklife balance and weight-based stigma were all significant causes of weight gain and barriers to weight loss. These factors also contributed to men's unwillingness to seek help for their over-weight. Addressing the self-blame and stigma associated with obesity is important in developing strategies to improve the health and well-being of obese men.
