Hi Jazzy
Hmm... I don't think I can add much to what others have said. I suppose I'd just agree with the idea that he's probably asking as many questions as possible, perhaps to rule some things out.
If he works with people with eating disorders he's probably aware that weight can be an 'issue' no matter what a person's body shape. Many women who aren't overweight at all have 'issues' with weight. So I don't think you should worry that he thinks you're fat.
And in some ways it's a good thing to know your family history of things like menopause. He certainly has a very direct way of approaching it! I'm not sure it would be right for me, but only you can know if it's right for you.
I think it's a very good thing that you're going to ask him about it. It's important to get an idea of his theoretical orientation and his style right at the beginning.
