ABSTRACT

It had not been a good fortnight for Steve. Somehow that first counselling session seemed to have made things worse. He seemed to feel he was eating more. He wasn’t sure why, but just found he spent the week thinking more about food and not being able to distract himself. Yes, he knew he had to do something, he was uncomfortable with it, with everything. At times, yes, that was it, he just felt uncomfortable with himself, with life, the universe, everything. As a result things had not been easy at home. His wife told him he was ‘going round like a bear with a sore head, and a fat bear at that’.
