Can T not explore with a client the reasons behind maintaining the weight? since the theory seems to be that we don't do anything unless we see a benefit in there somehow?

I would expect this to be very delicate work for the T/client dyad (because so bound up in self image, so intimate a subject for client, extending to defenses maybe, revenge feelings maybe, many other possibles) and very appropriate for a therapy subject.
