A group of women is introduced and followed as members of a behavior modification therapy group aimed at weight loss. Suggested solutions include increased dating and identifying potential psychological causes for obesity

An outdated and adverse approach to body-image and self-perception that places those issues squarely in the arena of personal choice, with the group's examining doctor stating to the viewer that "overweight people tend to be dishonest, inconsistent, and irresponsible."
