I would address your weight loss history sooner rather than later, so you can gauge her response and make a better assessment about whether she's a good match for you.

Good point! I will be bringing it up next session. Maybe not saying "your weight reminds me of my old self and I can't stand it" But saying "I've lost a lot of weight and I'm afraid of gaining it back and feel self conscious etc...
Thank you for sharing your experience!
