I worked last weekend (I know, very sad…especially considering the nice weather where I live). But I realized that although I would much rather be at home with my family all weekend, I really like my job. I love being a dietitian, and one of the best parts about my job is meeting lots of people and having some really great conversations with them about healthy eating. I met a patient on Sunday who made an interesting comment about me. She told me that I was very calm and laid back and didn’t come in with some song and dance and over-enthusiastic pitch for her to change her diet.
This comment brought lots of images to mind as I love to sing and dance, and her message rang true. I am laid back about healthy lifestyles. I don’t think I need to scream from the rooftops and scare anyone. I don’t believe in radical changes in eating and exercising because I have never witnessed that method work. I think you should change you diet gradually in the right direction. I don’t have a song and dance for you, but I hope my message hits home.
p.s. If there is a song you would like me to work a dance up to, please email me at jeni@fitlifespot.com I’ll see what I can do.
