Case Study Carol Jones is a 50-year-old woman recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Her maternal grandmother had diabetes. Mrs. Jones was an overweight child and is an overweight adult at 5’4″ and 180 pounds. She is married and works part time at a retail clothing store at a local mall. Dr. Smith referred her for counseling to lose weight. The dietitian, Joan Stivers, notes in her assessment that Mrs. Jones seems to have a problem with low self-image with negative cognitions.

So my husband and I eat them.”  How would you suggest Mrs. Jones modify her negative self-talk? (2 points)
