Indy, please don't feel like you're attention seeking. This is clearly a painful issue for you and there's a difference between asking for support you need to get to where you can actually work on the issue, and just seeking attention. Anyway, I GET this completely. What you write makes so much sense. My therapist specializes in working with obese patients and yet I never discuss my body issues or my weight with him. He even offered once when I made some comment - told me about he specializes in this area and do I want to discuss it. I just said NO. He is so fit and so attractive, there's no way I want to discuss how disgusting I think I am with him. So, yeah, that is a really long post to say I empathize. Got no advice on the matter though. LOL. It think the idea of printing out what you wrote and taking it to her is a great idea.
