Purpose: The purpose of this study was to discover the body weight control process of women who have normal body weight.
Methods: Six participants with normal body weight were recruited by theoretical sampling methods. The data were retrieved through in depth interview and participant observation. Collected data were analyzed through grounded theory approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998).
Results: Eighty three concepts, thirty subcategories, and thirteen categories were deduced from the open coding process. The continuous weight control process of normal body weight women showed to be a process of "Living within the frame that made by oneself", and its chronological process was including the phase of determination, propulsion, change, and acceptance. ‘Living within the frame that made by oneself’ had an active performance type and passive performance type.
