The obese patients have different body image, poor hope and quality of life that influence the process of their treatment. The aim of this study was to compare body image, quality of life and hope in obese women with diet therapy and obese women who are not under diet therapy.

In this study 90 obese women were under obesity treatment regimen in Nutrition centers of Kerman and 90 obese women who were not under obesity treatment regimen. The World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (1991) with a reliability of 86.0 and life expectancy Schneider (1991) with a reliability of 81.0 was used.
