I started LL in March too, so I thought I'd pop into say hi! :wavey:
Lighter Me, I know what you mean about your counsellor, but I'd give her a chance anyway. Addiction can take many forms and one doesn't necessarily need to be obese to understand what it feels like to be out of control.
Besides, I wouldn't expect my GP to have had all the diseases he's able to cure, yet he mostly does a good job (mostly).
I remember when I pointed out to the NHS smoking clinic counsellor that, as he had never smoked, he had no idea about the lure of the nicotine. He said that he'd studied addiction counselling and he was confident he'd be able to help me regardless. Three and a half years later I'm still not smoking and I have to concede he was right!
Try and see if your LLC is competent in her own right and take action if she isn't. Sometimes it isn't even a case of competence but 'rapport'. I originally did the induction day with one counsellor but switched immediately to another one as she just didn't give me confidence.
See how it goes and let us know. Good luck!
