There may have been a thread on this but I forgot. I have another issue that gets triggered when I see photos of me. I hate, hate, hate the way I look in some pictures and I don't trust that I don't always look like that. I have a double chin and I'm overweight but usually I don't think I look ugly. But I'm never sure and I want to die when I see how I look.

Last session I mentioned eating when I'm upset, and my T asked me something about it. We've never talked about my appearance except for the makeup. I want to discuss it, but my T is SO thin. How can she understand my problem with the way I look?

I also hate that I judge people for the way THEY look, when I feel so ugly myself. I don't want people to judge me for being fat, but I judge others. Or if they're too skinny like my T. I hate myself for the way I feel!

When my T told me I looked wonderful without makeup I didn't believe her. I don't know if I dare ask her how she thinks I look, and show her the ugly pictures. I am okay looking from the right angle but what if people see me from the wrong angle? I usually don't care, but when I do, I say I'm never going to eat again. Of course I eat anyway, and can't lose weight. It wouldn't help the chin anyway.

I suppose I need to talk about this with my T even though I don't want to. I know appearance doesn't matter, like here on this forum. It doesn't matter what anyone looks like.

So, do you discuss how you look with your T if it's an issue for you?
Thanks.
