Change for someone with borderline personality disorder involves more of a progressive fine-tuning than a total reconstruction. In rational weight-loss diet plans, which almost always resist the urge to lose large amounts of weight very quickly, the best results come slowly and gradually over time, with the weight loss more likely to persist. Likewise, change in BPD is best initiated gradually, with only slight alterations at first, and as in a successful diet program, with acceptance and encouragement, despite the inevitable regressive fluctuations.
