For people who are obese, losing a meaningful amount of weight and sustaining that loss entails more than just the basics of eating less and being more active. For people who are obese, eating is more than a response to hunger; it is a complicated response to hunger and emotions, and involves a number of behaviors that may not be healthy. A therapist can help you understand how you came to be obese and, more importantly, how to take the behavioral steps you need to attain and sustain a meaningful weight loss.
Tips and Warnings
- Ask people you trust for recommendations for therapists, but remember that your needs may differ from theirs.
- Therapy is an ongoing process; be wary of any therapist who promises fast results.
