Fortunately, there is help. You can change your life and the weight can come off without dieting. Yes I said without dieting, and you can have fulfilling intimate relationships - even get married if you are single. As a clinical psychologist, I work with overweight people who want to lose weight. I treat the underlying cause of why people overeat and the weight usually comes off.
People overeat because they feel deprived in some area of their lives.
They are usually deprived of love, attention and healthy relationships. Most people who overeat do so because they were or are being abused. Abuse can be sexual, physical, verbal, or neglect. Overweight people lack loving relationships and have relationships with food instead. Food just lies on the plate and won t reject or criticize you like people.
