Talk Therapy

I take another big step today.....going to see a Therapist.

I firmly believe that part of my issue is genetics / metabolic disfunction and part is just the very disordered relationship I have with food.  I don't know if I'm a food addict, but I do know that the way I view and use food is very different from other people.

Because of that, I decided that if I went through with this surgery - to 'fix' my stomach - that I was going to also have to do something to 'fix' my head.

I actually really like the idea of having some impartial to talk to about this stuff but I also feel this sense of inertia about actually starting (too bad I go in an hour and half - lol).  What I mean is I feel like it takes so long to kind of bring the person up to speed and I feel like it'll be really annoying.  I'm just hoping that she asks lots of questions about my background rather than me having to start from "welp, it was a hot Sunday in July 1977 when I was born...'

Wish me luck.

  1. I hope you get what you need out of it. You are right most of us need to fix both parts. It's one of my biggest fears of parenting, that I will raise Elle to have a disordered relationship with food.
