The current study is a randomized controlled trial comparing standard behavioral weight loss treatment with a program which incorporates acceptance based strategies in the treatment of overweight/obese individuals with problems with internal disinhibition. A total of 160 participants will be randomly assigned to a standard behavioral weight loss treatment program (SBT) or to an innovative approach that combines standard behavioral weight loss with acceptance based strategies (referred to hereafter as "Acceptance Based Behavioral Intervention" or ABBI). Both groups will meet weekly for 6 months, biweekly for 3 months and then monthly for 3 months. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and 6 month intervals for 24 months total, with measures of weight, acceptance of negative emotions, distress tolerance, and adherence to the weight loss program.
