Can a dietician help me lose wight? Should I seek assistance?

Hi all

I won't bore you too much but weight loss has been hard for me. I am beginning to think that I have a very unhealthy relationship with food and alcohol and possible disordered thoughts about food.

I feel so lost and confused. Keto really messed with my head a few years ago...weight loss was effective but it was MISERY daily. Restricting food groups was bad for my mental health. However I do think fats are healthy, and some saturated fats are important.

I worry that a dietician will spout the same public health nonsense that has led to Americans being sick and fat for the last 60 years...red meat is the devil, seed oils and margarine only, lots of grains.

I know how to eat less or eat fewer calories...the problem is that I'm hungry all the time. And I have cravings and obsess about food. I feel trapped. Can anything help with this? Are there therapy services that can deal with it somehow? I love eating healthy food. I know how to count calories. I know how to do it. The problem is, my entire life becomes obsessive about food when I restrict and it's messed me up so bad mentally.

I am beginning to feel like I'm just trapped like this forever.
