If only we could just ignore the issues attached to our eating, then weight loss would be so much easier.

For many, not all, putting on weight has deep significance. For some, it I may not.

For those that put on weight for a reason, it can represent protection from men, sexuality, fear of fully living our life...this is just one example. But I don't think we can suddenly ignore these issues and lose weight if that weight was put on for a specific purpose. Looking at and resolving the why can be very liberating. There have been books coming out for decades a bough the psychology of fat and I think they are useful...but then I'm a psychologist, so I would!
