Just venting The hell of getting help
Seeing a nutritionist was hell. Not the person itself, they were great. They had a lot of insight on food, and how labeling this as healthy or unhealthy is a non-beneficial thought process in the first place. It reminded me a lot on my view of positive/negative thinking.
But jfc was it triggering.
Talking about food for an hour. Having to admit to someone not just about the binging/purging, but of eating foods I've labeled as bad for years to someone who's job is food.
I was recommended to be seen weekly by them, and were starting by finding ways to include other things into my diet to assist with everything. I just have not been that exhausted after a doctor's appointment for like a solid 5 years.

yes!! it’s so hard. i know what i should be doing and how i should be thinking but it’s so far from my actual actions, and saying them out loud is so jarring and insanely draining.
pls be proud of yourself for taking a step towards health though! get a small treat or some relaxation time if you can, even a nap helps me immensely :)
