Oh, Lonelygirl.....
I can relate to so many of the things you said.
I also think that it is pathetic as well as unfair that we live in a society that so reveres the thin and is repulsed by the overweight. It is almost as if not being normal weight is a mortal sin! And yes, it does make one want to crawl into one's own shell and be avoidant.....Regarding the matter of your shrink:
I think you should bring it up! It is YOUR dollar being spent in there, and this is clearly a major problem for you. My guess is that the shrink (if he/she is any good) is waiting for YOU to bring it up so that you can have a good cry and a breakthrough, or whatever......
Losing weight only happens when one is ready deep in ones soul to make a committment to it.....not a moment before! I had such a time 10 years ago...Since that time (guess I kept it off for 5 years) it has been one struggle after the next with no results past about 7 or 8 lbs. But I KNOW it won't happen again until I am dead focused on it. Until then, I get fatter...fatter than I ever imagined possible for me.
I wish I could take those people who are phobic and grossed out by fat and give them all a lesson in compassion. I wish they could spend one day in the shoes of a fat person! Their derision only makes me want to stay in the house more and exercise like - NEVER!
Anyway, talk it over with your psych. It might be a really good thing to do.......Diane
