This study aimed to identify the impact of the first UK COVID-19 lockdown on individuals' weight management attempts (WMA). A self-regulation theoretical framework was used to identify predictors of continuing with a WMA, and weight change during the lockdown. An online retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted after the first UK COVID-19 lockdown. The sample consisted of 166 UK adults (M:31.08, SD:12.15) that were trying to manage their weight before the lockdown started. The survey assessed changes in WMA and practices, and measured perceived stress, flexible/rigid restraint, uncontrolled eating, craving control, and self-compassion. Results showed that 56% of participants reported disruption to their WMA during the lockdown. Participants with lower levels of perceived stress and higher flexible restraint were more likely to continue their WMA. Flexible restraint was a significant predictor of weight change. Interventions that promote flexibility in weight management may be beneficial for at-risk individuals under lockdown conditions.

首次 COVID-19 封锁对英国成年人体重管理实践的影响：自我调节的角度。

本研究旨在确定英国首次实施的 COVID-19 封锁对个人体重管理尝试 (WMA) 的影响。使用自我调节理论框架来确定继续 WMA 的预测因素以及锁定期间的体重变化。英国首次实施 COVID-19 封锁后进行了一项在线回顾性横断面研究。该样本由 166 名英国成年人（M：31.08，SD：12.15）组成，他们在封锁开始前试图控制体重。该调查评估了 WMA 和实践的变化，并测量了感知压力、灵活/刚性约束、不受控制的饮食、渴望控制和自我同情。结果显示，56% 的参与者表示，他们的 WMA 在封锁期间受到了干扰。感知压力水平较低和灵活约束程度较高的参与者更有可能继续进行 WMA。灵活的约束是体重变化的重要预测因素。促进体重管理灵活性的干预措施可能对封锁条件下的高危人群有益。
