Re: So You Want to Lose Weight?

Holly,

Although I wouldn’t finish quite that way, that was wonderful. I’m about to

do

the nutrition component in local weight loss program and plan to share this

with the participants.

Do not be eating/drinking while watching, unless you want it all over your

keyboard.

Oh yeah, " the I'm right, you're a crackpot dietitian " client; maybe I am

enjoying unemployment more than I remembered : )

It could work well in a group maybe - to help each of them laugh at their own

wishful thinking as they recognize some of their own food fallacies within the

skit. The ending of " please get out so I can stab a pencil in my eye " is a

little brutal but at least it isn't loaded with swearing and the frustration of

the health professional is clearly stated within the outrageous statement.

It gives me a message of " the dietitian wants to help you but if you aren't

willing to try even a baby step then - get out - we can't help anyone who isn't

willing to help themselves even a little. "

We all want to have our cake and eat it too. (My unemployment has no paycheck -

downside)
