There is an upside to realizing you’re overweight—and it’s to a woman’s advantage. A study published in 2002 by researchers at the University of Florida in Gainesville, found that among women and men with the same BMI (where both have a weight classified as healthy, overweight, or obese),
men are significantly more likely than women to rate their size as socially acceptable when they are overweight or obese. Since women typically identify their weight problem earlier than most men, women are more likely to do some- thing about it sooner rather than later.
