weight loss and guilt

I have covered this topic before but I see this weekly so let me hit on this one again: If you gain weight you are not "BAD" and you have not "CHEATED." We often equate the gaining of weight for being bad, and we self-loathe becasuse of it. Not only that, we then tend to NOT want to come in for your appointments or come back into our program for fear that somehow you will be value judged and we will be disappointed in you. Of course not! We UNDERSTAND the issues involved and the difficult nature of losing weight andd keeping it off. This is what we do...help you lose weight. We NEVER judge or critically apporach the weight gain..we CONSTRUCTIVELY become involved medically and psychologically to help you get back on track to become healthier and happier.

Please NEVER feel embarrassed, guilty or "bad" if weight gain occurs. If you need our help to reverse this weight gain, never hesitate to call us.
