    The purpose of this study is to use and evaluate coaching as a procedure to improve the body image of obese woman who are dissatisfied with certain aspects of their physical aspects. Coaching is a process that uses goal strategies, direct actions, contingencies, utilizes personal traits and encourages the individual to produce the desired results in ones life. The subjects were 40 women, aged between 22 and 63 years old with refractory obesity, who had not presented signs of neurological or psychiatric disorders, and were not receiving psychotherapeutic or psychiatric monitoring. The coaching instruments employed to assess the volunteers were: visual analogue scales (appraisal of physical and psychological state), goal setting and definition of values (to identify the rationale for the individual before undergoing the treatment plan) and an action plan (the individual determines the strategies for reaching the desired target). The psychological aspects were evaluated by administering the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories. The Binge Eating Scale questionnaire assesses the presence of binge eating behavior and figural stimuli were used for assessment. Parameters such as biochemical, body weight, body mass index, waist, and hip measurements were also considered. They were evaluated before the commencement of the procedure and after 10 months of intervention. The results indicated a reduction in the levels of anxiety (mild to minimal) and the intensity of the compulsion to eat (moderate to mild). The volunteers showed that they had become more satisfied with their body image: physical aspects (poor to fair), psychological (fair to good) and achieved a significant reduction in their body measurements: weight (- 3.6 kg), BMI (-1.3 kg/m²), waist (- 3.6 cm) and hip (- 3.0 cm).ty.
