I told my mom I wanted to go on a diet and she thought it was a good idea to see a nutritionist. So before we could do that she had to make me an appoitment with my doctor. Im really scared because I dont know if she is going to measure my weight. I hate that and that is like my fear! Will she just talk to me about my eating or will she see how much I weight? Please answer! And what will the nutritionist tell me? Thanks so much. ♥

THe nutrionist, will ask you about your diet now, and then tell you what foods to avoid, like soda, chips, candy, cookies, cake, pie, doughnuts, etc, and tell you that you should eat more fresh veggies, and fruit and drink low fat milk, and low fat dairy products, and drink lots of water. Eat mostly chicken or turkey or fish, and no fried foods and cut way back on oils and butter.
And get some exercise each day.
I think it is a great idea that you want to loose weight, and that your mom is taking you to a nutritionist. Must of us get our food messages from TV where all the commercials are for fattening, fast food, that is very high in calories, and fat and salt. But no one in the commericals is fat. (and the secret is that no one in the commercials actually eats that stuff. Good luck to you.

She'll ask you about your eating habits now and probably ask you how often you exercise. She'll tell you the kind of foods you should be eating and what portions you should be eating. She may even give you some recipes or meal ideas. Don't worry about her weighing you, she sees it everyday and soon you'll be eating better, getting healthier, and losing weight! Then you'll be proud for her to weigh you :-P Best of luck! Let me know if you need anything! [ DaysGoBy's advice column | Ask DaysGoBy A Question ]
