weight gain, embarrassment and accountability

Yesterday morning I had a cobversation with a patient who had a difficult week and she told me that she was very tempted to cancel her appointment but then decided to "face the music". Of course, she knows that we would not be "judgemental" or "admoish" her for a weight gain, but like so many others who gain weight during a week, there is an embarrassment factor that occurs.

Of all the times NOT to cancel an appointment is when you have had a challenging week. That is EXACTLY the time to come in to chat, reflect on the events that caused the difficultites sadhering to a sound dietary plan and moreover, what to do to prevent this from happening futuristically. We are here to HELP you through these challenging times and HELP you get back on course. Please do not feel that we are in any way "disappointed" in you.

Off to take Tsnner for a run in the dark!
