On Thursday, we had an MNT patient in for weight loss. I asked her what her weight loss goals were and she said she doesn't care about the number on the scale and just wants to be healthy for a change. It gave us a new turn on the session and thinking of the BGDDA talks, I realize the session couldve been a lot different. I really loved the topics because counseling is a passion of mine which I hope to do some day soon. With that young woman, we could have listened to her more and not given so much advice, but rather let her see her own issues in a different light enough to change them.
This upcoming week will be pretty full and assignments that I'll have this week are to put up a bulletin board Monday or Tuesday for National Nutrition Month which will have the new Dietary Guidelines on them, a article for friday for the commodities day, and a talk about sweeteners that I will give on Thursday to a group of diabetics.
