overwhelming tears of joy

Just got home from my meeting with Barbra the dietitian and I have to say it was the most wonderful experience I've had in a long time. I have never had anyone set down with me and tell me right from wrong as far as food goes so to say the least I was very ignorant about eating healthy. I was working out at least an hour a day and only eating 1200 calories and taking in like less then 5 total carbs a day. To say the least I've only lost four pounds total since we started. I was very very scared about meeting Barb today because I felt like I couldn't eat any less than I was and I just knew she would get onto me about having to eat better than I was. Man was I wrong. She was very very nice to me and told me the reason I'm not dropping the weight is because my body thinks I'm starving. I'm not supposed to count calories anymore and I'm to eat more carbs because I'm also starving my brain by not taking in enough carbs to feed it. After the big light bulb went off in my head I felt a huge weight being lifted off me and I was so happy because I realized I don't have to be hungry and crabby all the time I can eat as long as I do it the right way. I think Barb could see than I was so scared and overwhelmed by all of it she even gave me an hug and told me not to worry I was going to get this and she was going to help me. As soon as I left I got out to the car and cried not tears of anger, pain or frustration but tears of joy and excitement for the future and having help to show me the way. I have to say if anyone has fears,doubt or ignorance on nutrition please make an appointment to see Barb at Cov Health weight management centers. I don't think I could ever thank her enough for her help and support. Onward and upward!
