i wouldnt do it. i have been overweight all my life. i have never been on a diet. i have always felt bad and disgusted in myself but never motivated to do anything. lost a bit of weight on meds and more changing eating habits. i can now shop at regular stores. i am fine where i am at. my sister died due to the damage from anorexia. my doc sent me to a nutritionist after i went for GERD (acid reflux). got there and she said the referral was for weight loss. this insulted me. i was already working with my t to change my eating habits because i got so sick from the GERD. she diagnosed me with an eating disorder based on my compulsive eating style (starve all day, binge all night). so the nutritionist put me on a low calorie sensible eating plan. i refuse to say i am on a diet because i was just out to eat healthy. but i am obsessed with my sick mind and my goal is eating a third of the calories less than alloted a day and i weigh myself every time i go in the bathroom. it is driving me up the wall.
