Why did patients apply to this trial?

I am 65 years old and still feel bad about my body! If I haven't learned to accept it at this age, what must young women be dealing with?! I would enjoy learning more about how to overcome this issues. I have binge-eating issues with sweets, though I am a healthy weight and BMI because of extensive exercising that I do. And this is a local study!
