Q: Dear Dr. Disenhof, my father left my mother and me when I was three years old. He remarried and now has three more children with his current wife. I hardly ever see him or my half siblings. He treats his new family better than he has ever treated me. He spends a lot of time with his new family and buys them the best of everything. He spent very little time with me and I work hard to get anything I need. I don't trust men and I am 26 years old, alone, and 25 pounds overweight. Is there any hope for me? Thanks. - Paula.
A: Paula, yes there is hope for you. In fact, your situation is not uncommon. I have helped many people in your situation to talk the weight off and resolve past and present hurts. When a parent betrays us at a young age, it creates a lifetime of trust issues that can be resolved with psychotherapy. Along with this resolution, comes significant weight loss without dieting. You will see that your trust can be repaired and you won't be lonely anymore. Try talking your weight off. Good luck.
Don't just talk the talk, talk the weight off!
Finally, the solution that works. You are invited to talk with Dr. Disenhof and see what she can do for your weight.
