I don't really understand though - he told you how you think you look is not as important as how you feel -- but he had you get up so he could look at you? Maybe I read it wrong...

I do like how honestly you talk to your T about everything - I find weight is THE hardest subject to bring up in therapy. It is one of those things that I don't really want to point out just in the off chance he hasn't noticed the weight gain.
