This client is struggling to understand the link between her shame about her body, and the pressure to lose weight for health reasons and her impulse to eat excessively. The link is the "diet famine" concept. Believing the food is "bad" makes it seem as if she must restrict it to keep from feeling "bad" about her body. Aslo, using the hunger scale feels like a "diet" to her when she wants to eat emotionally. This process can be very confusing, especially when people don't understand the impact diets have on bingeing and enabling emotional eating.
