I have BED and overall horrible relationship with myself and food. Therapist put me in contact with this “nutritionist” that was booked months in advance and I was so hopeful that she’d help me find a way around my sensory issues (slimey/wet foods give me the shivers so I don’t generally reach for fruits and veggies), suggest some easy recipes for lazy days or that incorporate more vegetables without really noticing the texture, maybe even calculate my macros for me. Maybe I was expecting a lot from the appt, realistically a part of me was hoping she’d hand me some magic beans to lose 50lbs in a month or at the very least hold my hand and tell me it’s not impossible to lose weight at all, but I DEFINITELY expected more than “you weigh too much, you need to eat less”. I tried bringing up my food aversions and hectic work/school schedule that leads me to buy a Dunkin coffee most mornings and she made a face and said “and a donut too?” And never addressed anything else I said.
I’m sorry for the vent, I know it’s not the end of the world and I can find much better support and resources on my own, but it was just so discouraging to think I was going to get some real help only to get judged and given the same shitty line I’ve been given my whole life.
