As for how to handle the shame... for me, I try to remind myself that what I am seeing (or even feeling) is what my disordered mind wants to see/feel. It does mean that is is the truth. Perhaps your T could help work with you on your self-esteem? I know I really struggle with this too, and it's something that me and mine work on a lot.
Best of luck to you!

Thanks, I didn't cancel my appt bc I'm just as scared to cancel as I am to go.
I've told her I don't know how to show up for therapy when I'm feeling fatter but she hasn't ever really responded to that comment before. Maybe tomorrow I need to tell her again and tell her I need an actual answer. Argh, don't know.
And as for feeling ashamed- I really struggle with even thinking that my perceptions are disordered. It's difficult to accept, I see fat, I feel fat, how can I be wrong
