I thought i’d take a minute and introduce myself. I just started treatment at EP. I am sure most (if not all of you) can relate to how nerve wracking and stressful this whole process is. Especially in the beginning. I find myself constantly torn between the urge to turn around for the door and the feeling that I need to stay. So far I have stayed (yay!). This seems like a logical place to find some support/suggestions…
My T recommended that I get into a group in addition to sessions with her. I am not exactly comfortable with this idea. I am a pretty quiet and shy person and I don’t open up to people I don’t know…which I assume would be an issue since its a group. Anyone feel like this and still gave it a shot?
Another question I have is outside of answering questions about what you eat and when, what can I expect at the first meeting with a dietitian? 
Thanks for reading!

Hey, I’m pretty new too! I have been coming to see a T for about a month, and just had my first appointment with a dietitian yesterday. I was kind of nervous going to the dietitian for the first time because i wasn’t sure how i would be asked to change my habits, and how different/ hard it would be but i was surprised at how easy it went :-) I was just asked some questions about my eating habits, weighed, and given a packet to read over and think about before i saw her next. My T told me as well that i should try to get in a group because of how shy i am and that i should try to overcome some of my anxiety in social situations. I just don’t know what to say! Once i get to know someone, i don’t stop talking, but until then, i am VERY quiet.
