Obesity is a costly biopsychosocial phenomenon that has become a global epidemic with serious health-related risks and consequences for individuals and society. A paucity of research on the firsthand biopsychosocial perspectives of failed attempts to control obesity exists; thus there is a social significance in further inquiry. Guided by the locus of control theory, this phenomenological study explored such perspectives in a purposive sample of 11 individuals using in-depth, audio-recorded, semistructured interviews. The open-ended questions and prompts were transcribed verbatim, and thematic analysis suggested that (a) retrospection, (b) time, (c) emotions, (d) habits, (e) health, (f) genetics, and (g) difficulty losing weight reflected the biopsychosocial influences that contributed to these participants' failed attempts to control their obesity. Results from the study suggested that the personalized and comprehensive in-depth interview process enhanced the participants' self-awareness of and insight into their obesity-related challenges. Immediate social benefits may result from modifying current obesity-related intake interview processes to include additional time and training in biopsychosocial evaluations to support each individual's needs more efficiently and holistically. Such positive social change would support better health outcomes and reduce health care costs, both of which are in accordance with Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates and support a paradigm shift that approaches health states from a biopsychosocial and holistic framework.
