ABSTRACT

A new client arrives at your office. “What brings you here?” you ask. “I need help losing weight,” she replies. “If only I could control my eating and be thin, I know my life would be better. This isn’t the body I was meant to have. I want to have more energy and I know my marriage would improve if I looked more attractive. I’ve tried every diet and lost a lot of weight, but I’ve always gained it back. I’ve never been this heavy before. It’s been a really stressful time. I know I turn to food when I’m unhappy. Can you help me?”
