Your doc put you on a restrictive diet? Did you tell him/her that you have restricted and had challenges with eating and stuff in the past? I wonder if they might have discussed a different approach toward weigh loss if they knew your background?

Usually eating disorders are a symptom of something else going on in your life-we feel that it's easier to control this part of our life than it is addressing the real challenge/isue in our life. You said you told your T - that's a great step! How did s/he respond to your concerns? Why did the session end - were you guys out of time?

How could it have been okay for so long? It was never "okay"...but maybe it just hasn't been as bad as it is now. You haven't been able to admit it was bad back then. It's not okay now and it wasn't okay then. You just were able to work through it on your own.
