Ms Palmer explained that psychological disorders, such as body dimorphic, 'are unfortunately becoming more common because as we lose weight, we are unlocked from our fat prison and can talk about feelings, relationships et cetera'.
She said that people who are being treated their weight, such as by having a gastric band fitted, must have access to counselling services if they feel they need them.
A press release from Diabetes UK recently stated that those who have gastric band surgery to lose weight are likely to suffer from low self-esteem and relationship problems.
