Who Succeeds in Losing Weight?

  • Chapter
Self Change

Abstract

As virtually any one of the 34 million obese adults in the United States could testify, the energy, time, and perseverance required to lose weight and maintain weight loss is ongoing and formidable (Jeffery & Forster, 1987). Hence, for obese individuals, the task of weight loss and weight-loss maintenance may be more accurately viewed as a chronic problem rather than a finite endeavor. Unfortunately, initial weight loss, rather than permanent changes in eating, exercising, and a variety of related behaviors remains the major focus of most treatment programs. Permanent weight control remains an elusive goal for most obese people (Bray & Gray, 1988; Brownell & Jeffery, 1987).
