I see a dietician/nutritionist regularly. She has been a huge help to me. I was doing the same thing you are--I knew what to eat but I was always sabotaging myself. Having someone to talk to and be accountable to is very important for me. And she defeats my inner voice that tries to sabotage me just by having common sense and reminding me I can do this. When I started I saw her every 2 weeks but now I go once a month. It keeps things in perspective for me. And of course, she looks over my food journals and makes recommendations as well, and I have learned a thing or two about nutrition that I didn't know before.
Sometimes I still think I should see a counsellor too... when I have down days.. there are free services at my school for that like yours. But I probably won't end up going just because the nutritionist is usually enough. Anyway good luck with whatever you decide... and I am totally jealous that you went to Thailand and Japan!!
