Although I swore up and down that I didn't need a nutritionist, once I had a couple of sessions with mine, I knew that I needed to see her weekly. It made such a difference for me, and I hope you find it as helpful as I have.
As for that restricting high, you betcha! It's nothing to do with how my clothes fit, for me, but simply on how much I've been eating. When I've been restricitng, I feel so light, and strong, and capable -- I think I feel that I have a right to take up all the space that I do take up, if that makes sense. I stand up taller, move more freely, etc. When I've been eating, though, I feel awkward, as if I have to suck myself back into a smaller space.
But do I feel high, and kinda speedy? You bet your sweet Aunt Fanny I do! I feel as though I can clean this place top to bottom and make it shine! Problem is, I also get so dang obsessive that it can take me all day to clean one bathroom, because I have to get every speck of dirt out, and my vision gets funny so I end up trying to scrub the pattern off the floor.
In other words, that feeling of power is an illusion.
Let us know how it goes with your N, and remember that you can always fire an N and find another if this isn't a good fit. Good luck. And know that I'm smiling that you're taking a step to take care of yourself.
