All participants will receive a 4-week mindfulness-based intervention via smartphone. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms: (1) the intervention group, a self-compassion mindfulness practice tailored for weight and body concerns, or (2) a wait list control group, who will receive access to the intervention content following completion of end-of-treatment assessments. All intervention content will be delivered via text message.
