This three-part workbook offers a concise and forgiving research-based guide to clients’ difficulties with sustained weight loss. Part 1 is a review of a client’s previous efforts at weight control and image change, as well as information and a review of research to help understand previous issues with weight loss. Part 2 contains information and exercises to help the client develop a new acceptance of their body and their relationship with food, as well as tools to develop mindfulness and self-compassion. Part 3 will help identify, experiment with, and commit to values related to food, appearance, and tackling troublesome mental and practical barriers along the way.
