Clearly.

"Are you overweight and always find some excuse or the other to avoid doing exercise? Well, if you think it's just laziness, think again, for a study claims that it is only a mental block which is hampering your efforts.

An international team has carried out the study and found that obese women often have a 'phobia of exercise' which stops them being active because they feel self-conscious and are afraid of injury.

According to researchers, these mental barriers are real problems which must be overcome to encourage overweight women to exercise more."

The mental barrier is called "Stupid."

And the researchers have a "phobia of truth" which stops them from being smart.
