I spoke with my regular counselor the other day about my body image and he is recommending me to a psychologist. He said he thinks a woman would be better for me, and he knows someone that he thinks I would work well with. I don't think I realized just how deep my body image issues run. It was really hard talking to him about it. The meditations he *tried* to walk me through were extremely painful. He asked me multiple times how I think I might be able to fix my problem; every time i answered with "more gym, less calories." Apparently that was the wrong answer. He was hoping I'd see the path throughout our conversation, but it my brain just doesn't work that way.
The part that is really shocking to me is that I'm happier with my body than I have ever been, and I'm still not happy. When it was bad, it must have been really, REALLY bad.
I don't know. We'll see how this psychologist helps me. I'm looking forward to feeling comfortable in my own skin. I hope someday I can get there.
