Mark
I lost weight by dieting and have kept it off for a year by basically following the program the trainer set up. But I'm starting to regain the weight, and I'm having some other problems that are making it really difficult to stay on my diet. Is it possible that the problems are actually related to my diet?

Answers a through d are correct. Dieting can lead to many psychologically based issues that interfere with well-being. Apathy and depression can occur because the dieter is not meeting the body's nutritional needs. And when a person is too hungry, it's hard to keep the mind focused on other things. When a dieter starts feeling deprived, they often begin to obsess about food. A frequent dieter may become so focused on food and weight that nothing else in life really seems to matter. The dieter has little time or energy left over after worrying about eating to devote to other important areas of life.
Another issue that can interfere with your ability to help a client is size discrimination. Let's look at it next, especially the effect it can have on a person's ability to eat healthfully.

You're on the right track here. Apathy and depression can be related to diet. But more of Mark's symptoms could also be related.
Think back to the Keys Starvation Study on page 13 of the student text. You may want to review this information, as well as table 2.1, which summarizes this study.
Now go back to the question and check what other symptoms may also be related.
You're partly right. Hunger is very distracting, and so is unhappiness with your ability to do what you want for yourself. So yes, this symptom could be because of Mark's dieting behavior. But there's more.

This answer is partly correct. This is a very common outcome of dieting that occurs both as a result of physical hunger and as feelings of deprivation. But there's more.

This is one of the correct choices. Chronic dieters can definitely become much more wrapped up in themselves. Their food, weight, and appearance become central aspects of their lives; other people or other parts of their lives become less important. But there's more.
