Survey finds 80 percent of urban working Indian women fat

"Most of the women who were obese said they were overweight because of sedentary lifestyle, lack of time to walk or exercise due to work pressure, and not having healthy food, Heal Foundation president R. Shankar told IANS here.

Although many of the fat women expressed satisfaction over their careers and salaries, they were conscious of their appearance. 

Grappling with weight management could pose psychological problems and affect not only eating habits but also lead to depression. Long-term stress influences hormones, which control appetite and stimulate metabolism, resulting in insulin release and hunger for more food, chief psychiatrist Neelesh Tiwari of the New Delhi-based World Brain Centre said.

Married working women who are also homemakers are under even greater stress as they have no time to include exercise in their daily routine. Their own health is unfortunately not a priority for these women, Shankar said. 

Interestingly, unlike their men counterparts, women knowledge workers, single or married, do not make use of the gym or other health facilities that many tech firms provide in their campuses for paucity of time, deadline pressures at work, and the rush to return home to finish domestic chores."
