"Aha" moments help motivate dieters Jan 17th 2013, 11:37 Why are Americans (including myself) so concerned about their weight? I studied this question for six years and in 2008 received a Ph.D. in sociology with a specific focus on body weight perceptions.

Although I've never been seriously overweight, I worry every day--at least a little bit--that I'll gain weight and become vulnerable to the self esteem issues and knee aches that have accompanied my past weight gains. So I stress about things like the extra cookie I ate, or the day's missed run, or whether tomorrow is the day I should start a diet.
