messadivoce, wow, what a great story of finding confidence and peace of mind around the weight issue. If I may say, I'm so proud of you!
Yes, you need a sensitive T. when you're talking about this. Your female T. sounds wonderful, I feel like I could picture her.
I am totally struggling around this issue right now. I am losing a little weight, but I am white-knuckling it. I feel guilty about eating, no matter if it's ice cream or salad. It's currently my big topic in therapy -- last session, my T. said, "You created the eating disorder -- with cause, and it served you well for a long time." I can totally see that in my case, this is true. But it's going to take a lot more work. As awful as it is to talk about sometime, I'm glad we're slogging through it. Better now than never.
messadivoce, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! It is going to be YOUR DAY, and I say, don't cave to anyone's demands or let your skinny family impinge on your happiness! Go for it with gusto!
<<There, I feel better.>>
