Book excerpt: Abstract: Guidance on permanent weight loss through behavior modification and self-appreciation is pictorally presented for constant and repeating dieters. Psychological strategies for counteracting self-disparagement and other destructive behavior common to the overweight are given, based upon the theory that overweight people are exceptionally well-connected to their real feelings. The strategy of attending classes, workshops, after-school activities, health and fitness psychological or spiritual group meetings may provide potential support groups for getting the overweight involved and for stimulating self appreciation while dieting. New positive attitudes assist the transition to permanent weight loss and control. (wz).
