What is a good way to lead an obesity support/therapy group?

I am a therapist and I have several obese and morbidly obese clients that I want to put in a group to give each other support. The problem is that they don't seem to think their weight is the issue, yet they all have in common mood and anger-managment problems.

Maybe the first phase of the group could be focused on their mood and anger management problems.
Gradually they may come to realize one of the ways they manage this is through their eating patterns. It sounds like it will be a very good group. Good Luck.
