I was -- and am, really -- resistant to some of it, too. I swore up and down that I didn't need nutritional counseling, and then when I got there, I swore I didn't need every week.
I was wrong!
Even if you don't get to a therapist who specializes in eating disorders, a therapist can help with some of the issues underlying the ED. What's more, I swear that the RD is the best move I've ever made! Talk about someone who deals well with EDs, she's great. The goals she sets for me are more or less within my ability, she doesn't show her disappointment (so far) or disapproval when I don't make the goals, and she really and truly helps make it seem possible. It's still frightening, but it's gonna be with or without the RD, so I'm choosing to have that support.
Be well.
