psych appt.

My psych appt is in the morning. I am excited and nervious. Just don't what to expect. Then on May 2, I have appt at the Center for Obesity in Gainsvlle to get started with things there. Will update you all tomorrow on psych visit.

Good luck tomorrow. I had my psych appointment last month and used the advice I received on this message board. Hopefully the same advice will help you.... Be careful of using diagnosis terms for yourself (like binge eater, obsessed with food, addicted to food) unless you have been diagnosed as having those conditions. The psychiatrist will most likely ask you if you are a binge eater. I encourage you to ask what exactly they mean by "binge eater." Be honest about your struggles. This advice was exactly what I needed prior to my evaluation. I probably would have said that I'm a binge eater, but once the psychiatrist specified what he meant I knew that I did not meet that description. I actually packed tissues in my purse that day because I expected to cry on the couch for an hour. lol. Turns out I didn't need them at all. The appointment went by very quickly and he didn't make me relive the childhood teasing, etc. haha
