Psych Eval Day

Well, I had my second psych eval. (The first one was a year ago) No big deal. Except, I have been thinking about going to councilling after surgery. I have had some issues with my mother commenting on my weight throughout my life. I am wondering if I am keeping this weight on for a reason. I mean when I am in new love/lust. I loose the weight. Once I am single or in a dissatisfying relationship, I gain weight. I'm not sure if this is normal. Anyway, I am considering it.

So, I really want to suceed. I think that if I don't change my way of thinking or feeling about myself, in 6 or so years I may be back where I started, or worse.

 

For those of you who haven't had your psych eval. It's no big deal. You don't have to tell them anymore than what they ask.

 

So, is there anyone out there who does get therapy? Or, do you have some sort of self-help program that will help you discovery why you do one thing or another?

 

Thanks, Holly

I haven't had my psych evaluation yet but I am also thinking about counseling. I know there is a psychological reason for my weight getting out of control. I am wondering if I will be successful if I don't confront the issues that are contributing to my weight problem but i have no idea what my issues are!

I feel we are SOOOO similar.

I definitely want to go to counseling after surgery. Just to deal with my underlying issues of WHY I gained weight in the first place. But I have to figure out if its covered on my insurance. I am definitely going to support groups though.

My mother has ALWAYS commented on my weight, even when I was skinny! I feel thats a huge reason of my weight gain over the years. And I have always been the same, losing when I am in a new love and gaining it all when Im single or after the honeymoon phase of the relationship. Ugh.

We also have similar stats! Im 5'3 and 230! :P
