I don't know if this can help you directly, but my experience is that obese people tend to be so not so much because they actively WANT to be overweight but because they cant be bothered NOT to be. It's easier to eat what you feel like eating, when you feel like eating while ignoring the consequences. Convenience is a great driver.
This may be an angle which rewards further investigation, along with such causal pressures towards 'easy eating' as family culture, changing work patterns without a subsequent change in eating patterns, peer pressure etc.

Caveat: Of course, you must remember that there are some obese people whose medical situation means they can't help their size.

Incidentally, before you think I'm a skinny having a rant - I'm not; I was overweight until my teens, I've lost most of it and now I'm careful because I want to die of something other than a self-induced heart attack. I actually sympathise with a lot of people whose overweight is a result poor education or external pressures, because it is a problem which can be overcome with a little help and support.
