I'd say kudos to that doctor who sent you to a psychiatrist instead of just seeing your weaknesses with food as an excuse to throw you on some more pills..
Just because you're being sent to a psychiatrist doesn't mean you're crazy or that anything you're doing is out of the ordinary.. See it as taking some time to help YOU on the road to recovery and health.
Anyway, it's the minority now who haven't been to a psychiatrist/psychologist so there is no longer any shame whatsoever.
I mean, look at me.. I polished off 1/4 of a mini sugar-free cheesecake tonight that the hubs brought home.. Something like 190 cals and 16g fat..
Wish I had the money to see a nutritionist and the like to get myself some serious willpower!
Best of luck!
