image change, as well as information and a review of research to help your client understand why
weight loss might not have worked in the past. Part 2 contains information and exercises to help your
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 your client identify, experiment with, and
commit to values related to food, appearance, and other important areas of life, tackling troublesome
mental and practical barriers along the way.
