Has anyone seen a counselor while trying to lose weight? I have a lot of anxiety, always have, and I feel like it may be hindering my ability to really change my life. Those of you who have seen a counselor/therapist etc. did it help?

    I have been seeing a therapist for a while now for anxiety and depression and continued to see her while I was losing the bulk of my weight. We didn't speak entirely about weight loss, but we did address it as needed. I can honestly say that I don't think I would have been successful without her help.

    Just add me know haha. we have the same problem.

    I have anxiety that is very severe. Im currently a college student and see a councilor at my school. They are very helpful and having my summer without him has been hard (i need that support). While I am up there he helps me think through all of my thoughts and discredit my fears. I say go for it! They are a great help.

    Sometimes I get afraid of losing weight because I dont want to lose the good curves I do have with the fat.
