Hi,
you took a very brave step to go to your GP an it sounds likehe wasn't very compassionate and understanding. If possible could you see another GP at the practice.? Has he actually refered you to see a psychiatrist.?
Psychiatrists are used to talking to people who are afraid, who have anxiety about seeing them, who aren't good at talking about their problems and who need help but are afraid to get it. try not to be scared of them, they are not there to do you any harm and it sounds like you are really fed up of having to live your life by your weight.
If the appointment has been made for the psychiatrist, go along, all they will do is ask you questions about yourself and try to see what they can do to help you, they are not there to judge and remember they have heard it all before.
I seen my first psychiatrist when I was 19 and I know I was scared too but since then I have seen so many mental health professionals that I wonder why I was bothered.
I know its hard an dif you want you can tak someone with you for support. you did the right thing by getting help. I have suffered from eating disorders, from bulimia to borderline annorexia and I was terrified they would stop me too but they don't work like that, they want to do it slowly and find a way that will work for you to deal with your weight issues so that you can recover properly.
best wishes

But so what's the real problem.? You're unhappy about your weight.? You're afraid to visit a counselor.?
You have to face your fears and overcome them.
Just a few steps at a time.
Just breathe.
Think about what makes you feel good, and feel loved, unconditionally loved, and like of the warmth of the sun upon you, like of the best times you've ever had, and know that if it was good those times before, it will be good again.
The sun always shines again.
The more you face and overcome, the stronger you become.
The hard part is just identifying the demons in the dark. As in your fears and insecurities, dysfunctions you've learned, etc.
Put names on things and then dismiss them. 1 by 1.
Other than the bible, the book that helped me most was Love Is A Choice, by Richard Meier and Frank Minerth. Lights began coming on. My suppressed childhood began coming more clear. The truth set me free. Just knowing the truth sets us free.
Just breathe.
Live each day within itself.
Today, this moment, may be all you have.
Tomorrow is promised to noone.
Do whatever ya gotta do to be happy, healthy and whole.
All you can control is you.
And what ya can't change all you can do is accept.
Much of it is about what you choose to be conscious of.
You have freewill. Choice.
