Study And Analysis Of Body Image Of Obese College Going Boys And Girls

Abstract

When a person's weight has a negative impact on their health, doctors typically use the term "obesity." Obesity can be caused by both heredity and bad habits such as eating unhealthy foods and not exercising enough. When more calories are taken than are burned, excess fat is stored in the body. Obese adolescent girls often have a negative body image as a result of their obesity. Depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, among other mental conditions, are all linked to poor body image. Eating disorders are more likely to develop in young people who have a negative body image. Some obese teenagers try to hide their bodies by dressing in larger sizes, which makes them appear sloppy and larger than they are. Others attempt to fit into clothing that is too small, resulting in odd lumps and bumps instead of smooth lines. The purpose of this essay is to investigate and analyse the body image of obese college-age boys and girls.
