This is a very tough topic.

Other times, I have attempted to identify "issues" and deal with them. This time, I have consciously compartmentalized things. I am fat and want to be thin. The fact that I may be insecure, lack self-confidence, etc etc are all there but I'm not sure I'll ever completely resolve those. So for now, I am happy enough just to control the physical cravings with a WOE that deals with the fat in my life. I think if I tried to get into therapy mode at the same time, I would crack and I would still be fat.
