So I used to be chubby until I was 16, had one too many traumatic experiences and developed a-typical anorexia. Was never underweight but lost 25kg in 6 months. Developed bulimia and now have Binge eating disorder. I'm stuck 81-86kg (am 158cm).
My psycologist is sending me to see a nutritionist to set up a meal plan. Help me slowly lose weight but not either starve or binge.
Problem is that in the past half of the session has been them explaining carbs and fats and how calories work. Ive both been obsessed with calories and nutrients for 2.5 years but I'm also taking health care classes and work at a nursing home. Meaning I learn about this stuff in my private and personal life. I don't want them explaining the basics because I know that stuff, I just want to set up a meal plan. But that sucks as well because jesus christ I've made meal plans as homework. I've had literal tests based in imaginary patients we have to create a one week meal plan for. I should know this.
It feels fucking pathetic that I need another professional, the type I already work with twice a week, to help me. I don't know her from the nursing home but it feels like I'm being incompetent and asking someone I work with for help because I can't do it myself. And I should be able to do it myself. I should be able to set up a treatment plan and a meal plan for myself. I've made treatment plans for a big variation of hypothetical patients almost every week since September. I've been there while making meal plans for actual patients. I feel like a massive failure, both as a health student and just generally as a person
