You are the one in control. You make all the decisions, you decide what to tell her and what not. I am sure she will start by asking questions, hopefully you will have an instant connection with her and trust her enough to share a little at a time. Even if you change your mind about going everyday up till the day of the appointment it is ok. It wont hurt to go one time and see what it is all about. You go come back here and give us some input so others may want to go!!

Well, I don't suppose many people like being told what to do! I surely do not! LOL!

But just screw up your courage a notch and go! Listen to what she has to say and decide what is right for you based on how you feel about the advice you get.

Getting help is good, but in the end it's up to you to gain control and decide what is best for yourself.

GREAT good luck!

You must be totally honest with your nutritionalist, they have a wealth of knowledge that can help you and your body recover, well done and go for it xxx

Bravo! Good for you!

wow you are so brave that is something i am yet to do - i guess im just scared as you are i really admire you for making that appointment - just go for it and remember it is the most wonderful thing you could do to help yourself atm is getting help to heal your body xo

I have been seeing a nutritionist for over a year now and I think she's great! I was nervous the first time I saw her but she put me at ease straight away. She told me that if I wanted to stay the weight I was, she would help me maintain it (I was only on the border of being underweight) and she help me put in really healthy foods like vegetables and fruits in my diet that have no fat in them. I managed to maintain my weight for over 6 months and then I decided to put on a bit of weight, which was hard to do. She helped me with that too and now I'm right in the middle of my healthy range and have been for the last 6 months. I don't think I would be where I am without her advice and support. I hope you go well with your appointment and just think of it this way, if you don't like it, don't go back, but at least try and you might be surprised!

Just tell her that you are very uncomfortable and are nervous.
I agree with Fane that you need to be absolutely honest. So tell her what ED you have and how you exercise. Then you both will make up a food plan that you can live with. And in the following visits the food plan will probably change but you can always voice what you are able to handle and what not.
Please don't cancel,hon

u dont have to be scared i did it and it was a good thing! good for u

It's always a scary thing, but I think you have to keep in mind that you should set up realistic goals at this point. Maybe, that is something you should think about. What do you think you would be ready to do at this point? What kind of changes are you ready to make?

I'm still paranoid, afraid, phobic, but I think that I have to go through this. I cannot live in my own head and this may help me, even if it's a bit, right now it will be worth it.

Well congrats on making the appointment! I have yet to do that, so that's farther than I've gotten. Let us know how it goes!
