I think the Q to ask yourself is if you're strong enough to handle a bad appointment. If she ends up being not good and saying triggering things - about the obesity epidemic and low-fat snacks, etc. - will that trigger you? If it might, I wouldn't risk going. If you can handle the potential of a bad appointment like that, then you could give it a try. I feel the same bias towards RDs over CNS as you do, but it's possible she's an exception. The biggest concern is that she doesn't specialize in EDs. Honestly, probably if I were in your position, I'd think that J is the best option - and I'd just have to get over my fear of running into R and do what is best for me....

I've gotten some really shitty but well intentioned advice from RD's who didn't have loads of ED experience, and some who did. <br /><br />Even when I was uber honest, just months out of IP, I got advice like (triggerish? I'm saying this as an ex of absurdity so hopefully not)- eat less bread, juice, and more protein so I'd be less hungry. My body in refeeding is a calorie burning machiiine. Like, got me on 1:1 bc people were convinced i was hiding something level crazy. So i wanted advice on how to get enough calories in as an outpatient and instead I got advice on how to not get hungry. In my case i was this person bc they were free and local whereas ED RD was far away and expensive.<br /><br /><br />Proceed with cautionJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730134189350353270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753685376168608657.post-3020705111355547112013-02-28T19:55:55.045-05:002013-02-28T19:55:55.045-05:00Congrats on staying off the scale and listening to...Congrats on staying off the scale and listening to your hunger cues! That's awesome! <br /><br />Although spending the money sucks, it might be helpful to just meet with the CNS, knowing that although it might be awkward, you can still see J again if it doesn't go well. I think it's good that you're going in with the knowledge that she doesn't specialize in EDs, just so you know you can disregard anything she might throw your way that sounds counter-productive in terms of recovery. I had that experience, and it was very bad (email me if you want to know more about that stuff), but since she's worked with EDs in the past, she could be really knowledgeable. I hope that's the case! And if not, J is always there and has seemed to help in the past. Fingers crossed that it goes well for you!
