Welcome to the site!

I think for some people counseling is a good idea. I'm not sure about everyone but alot of times people add weight on kind of as a buffer between them and the real world or whatever it is that causes them emotional pain. Like me I didnt gain weight until I divorced my x husband. It was like if I was fat I didnt have to worry about if someone would hurt me again because no one would want a fat girl anyways. And I didnt purposly get fat. I actually hardly ate. But I did slowly gain the weight. I stopped exercising and when I did eat it wasnt healthy, lots of fried food and icecream when I did eat. Ok sorry I'm rambling again. But yeah counseling can aide some people in their weight loss if they are emotional eaters or non-eaters. You just gotta find out why you over eat if you over eat or why you arent willing to exercise and eat healthy.
