The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if a 4-hour acceptance and commitment therapy workshop can help the adoption and maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviors in women with obesity. The objectives are as follows:
Acceptance and commitment therapy interventions demonstrate efficacy for weight loss. ACT-based workshops represent an innovative and potentially scalable application of this approach to obesity treatment. 70 women will be recruited to participate. Half of the participants (n = 35) will receive a brief ( approximately 4-hour) workshop that aims to facilitate the development and maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviors using ACT principles such as valued living and committed action. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 1-week, and 1-month post-intervention.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | Participants in the intervention group will receive the ACT workshop |
|
| Waitlist Control | No Intervention | Participants in the waitlist control group will not receive the intervention until all members of the intervention group have received the workshop. Once all members of the intervention group have received the workshop, participants in the waitlist control group will be able to receive the workshop if they so desire. |

| ACT workshop | Behavioral | This workshop is a brief behavioral intervention that teaches acceptance and commitment therapy skills (e.g., values clarification, acceptance, committed action) to approach healthy living. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in psychological flexibility at Week 1 | The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Weight-Related Difficulties is a validated, self-report measure and will be used to assess change in psychological flexibility. Possible scores range from 0-22, with higher scores indicating greater psychological flexibility. | Baseline and 1 week |
| Change from baseline in distress tolerance at Week 1 | Distress tolerance will be measured using the Distress Tolerance Scale- Short Form (DTS), a validated, self-report measure. Possible scores range from 15 to 75, with higher scores indicating better distress tolerance | baseline and 1 week |
| Change from baseline in valued living at Week 1 | The Valued Living Questionnaire is a validated, self-report measure to assess the extent to which an individual is living in a way that is consistent with their core values. Scores range from 10-100, with higher scores indicating greater consistency between values and behavior. | baseline and 1 week |
| Change from baseline in psychological flexibility at 1 month | The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Weight-Related Difficulties is a validated, self-report measure and will be used to assess change in psychological flexibility. Possible scores range from 0-22, with higher scores indicating greater psychological flexibility. | baseline and 1 month |
| Change from baseline in distress tolerance at 1 month | Distress tolerance will be measured using the Distress Tolerance Scale- Short Form (DTS), a validated, self-report measure. Possible scores range from 15 to 75, with higher scores indicating better distress tolerance | baseline and 1 month |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in weight self-stigma at Week 1 | Weight self-stigma will be measured using the Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire, a validated self-report measure. This is a 23-item measure, with scores ranging from 12- 60. higher scores indicate more weight self-stigma. | baseline and 1 week |
| Change from baseline in weight self-stigma at 1 month |

| Change from baseline in emotional eating at Week 1 | Emotional eating will be measured using the Emotional Eating Scale. This is a 25 item self-report measure with possible scores ranging from 25 to 125. Higher scores suggest greater likelihood to eat in response to emotionality. | baseline and 1 week |
| Change from baseline in emotional eating at 1 month | Emotional eating will be measured using the Emotional Eating Scale. This is a 25 item self-report measure with possible scores ranging from 25 to 125. Higher scores suggest greater likelihood to eat in response to emotionality. | baseline and 1 month |
| Change from baseline in physical activity at Week 1 | Physical Activity will be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire -Short Form.
