Controlling weight is a similar issue as body dysmorphia and once again may be very deep in the resistance to take care of oneself and may even be associated with psychosomatic problems or purely physical such as thyroid, etc.
CBT is an excellent way to ensure lasting weight loss through sustainable changes rather than the typical quick fix diet. I have used CBT to lose weight myself and have maintained this weight loss 10 years later so I know exactly how effective it can be.
