Have you ever done a Bible study that dealt with self esteem or weight loss?

My friend and I had a heart to heart and we would love to find a Bible study that focuses on healthy living and good self esteem and stuff. We don't want anything weird. We just want something that will help us realize and claim God's promises to help bring us out of the little pit we're in emotionally, caused by low self esteem from being overweight. I don't know if there's anything out there like that, but if you know of anything, holla. Thanks.
