Dramatic Premise
Sticking to your targets creates new opportunities (positive)
Lack of self-confidence results in cycles of anxiety (negative)

Themes
The opening theme is the cycle of how low self-confidence leads to a person seeking some form of comfort (in this case eating) which results in events that further damage their self-confidence. This then changes to a desire to break the cycle but lacking the strength to fully break free from it. It concludes with Lucy finding something to aid her in focusing on breaking the cycle and not only managing to break free of the cycle of comfort eating but losing weight and finding new opportunities opening up for her with her new found confidence.
