Abstract：
Weight cycling is a likely consequence of striving to lose weight after internalizing body image ideals, making upward social comparisons, and experiencing weight stigma. Despite weight cycling\'s potential physical and psychological consequences, the interplay of weight cycling, social pressures, and experienced and internalized stigma have not been qualitatively explored. Thus, through in-depth interviews of 36 weight-cycling adults, this study sought to understand how people negotiate weight cycling. Interviews informed the development of a qualitative model of weight cycling, which was derived from a theory-neutral inductive analysis. The model\'s stages included entering the cycle, undergoing the cycle, and challenging the cycle. Participants were triggered to enter the cycle due to weight stigma caused by social pressures. Within the cycle, interviewees internalized weight stigma and engaged in disordered weight management behaviors. Some participants challenged the cycle by becoming more self-aware and mitigating their toxic dieting behaviors. However, it was very difficult, if not impossible, for many to fully exit weight cycling and the restraints of previous weight management thinking and patterns. Our investigation underscores the seriousness of weight cycling and suggests ways to combat weight cycling on both macro and individual levels. It may also be useful to consider weight cycling as disordered eating in hopes of shifting society\'s dangerous focus on rapid weight loss.
摘要：
体重循环是内化身体形象理想后努力减肥的可能结果，进行向上的社会比较，经历体重耻辱。尽管体重循环的潜在的生理和心理后果，重量循环的相互作用，社会压力,经验和内化的污名还没有得到定性的探索。因此，通过对36名体重骑自行车的成年人的深入采访，这项研究试图了解人们如何进行体重骑自行车。访谈为体重自行车的定性模型的开发提供了信息，这是从理论中立的归纳分析中得出的。模型的阶段包括进入循环，在这个循环中，挑战循环。由于社会压力造成的体重耻辱，参与者被触发进入循环。在循环中,受访者内化体重污名，从事无序的体重管理行为。一些参与者通过变得更加自我意识和减轻他们的有毒节食行为来挑战这个周期。然而,这非常困难，如果不是不可能,对于许多人来说，完全退出体重循环和以前体重管理思想和模式的限制。我们的调查强调了体重自行车的严重性，并提出了在宏观和个人层面上打击体重自行车的方法。将体重循环视为无序饮食也可能是有用的，以期改变社会对快速减肥的危险关注。
