It isn\u2019t that difficult to lose weight on a diet.\u00a0 There are many diets that will produce a weight loss if followed rigorously.\u00a0 The problem, as people with an emotional eating problem<\/a> know all too well, is that when you stop dieting, the weight usually comes back even faster than it left.<\/p>\n

Why? When you stop a diet\u2014which is eating food you normally wouldn\u2019t eat, in quantities you normally wouldn\u2019t eat\u2014you start eating the way you had before the diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But there is another very important reason for gaining all the weight back.<\/p>\n

Many people who obsess about their weight believe that if only they could weigh what they wanted (which is much less than they currently weigh), their life would be perfect.\u00a0 In other words, they attribute most of what doesn\u2019t work in their life to their excess weight.<\/p>\n

After people get down to the weight they thought would make them happy and it doesn\u2019t, they would have to acknowledge that weight was not the real cause of their unhappiness, because they are still unhappy despite being at their \u201ctarget\u201d weight. For some people, it is too difficult to acknowledge this.\u00a0So they gain back all the weight they lost so they can continue to blame their unhappiness on the number of pounds they weigh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For such people, it is important to deal with the emotional aspects of their eating problem before<\/strong> they lose weight.\u00a0 If they can take responsibility for what isn\u2019t working in their lives and do something about it, they will be able to lose weight and not need to gain it all back.<\/p>\n
