I'm so happy to hear things are going better for you! I know the past year has been a struggle, so it's good to know things are looking up.

As for questions, what made her want to become a nutritionist?

I think that small amounts of weight at a time is the way to go. I finally decided to focus on only 15 pounds in a reasonable time and now I am finally going down.
As for a question...I am not very good at this, but here is my question idea:
As a nutritionist, what is the single most important change that a person can make on their road to becoming healthy?

Hello Hopeful.

Here is my question:

Is it true that your body has a natural body weight that it is comfortable at, and no matter how much dieting/exercise you do, your body will fight to return to that "natural weight"?

Thanks,
Molly

Congrats on the 6 pounds....stress will do that to you. Glad things are finally evening out in your life!

My question:

How long does it take to reverse the damage done to your body through bad eating habits?

I'm so happy that things are going well! SO nice to hear.

My question for the nutritionist: From her experience, what are the mistakes people make in their weightloss journey?

I thought of another question to ask her. I've lost about 200 pounds via diet and exercise and write about it on my blog. Sometimes people e-mail me asking me what I eat or wanting recommendations on meal plans. I'm not a nutritionist or dietician, so what is the most ethically responsible way to respond to these people? Should I tell them what I'm eating with the conceit that I am not a doctor and that they need to find what works for them? Or should I point them toward a specific resource? Or is there something else I should do?

Sorry but I thought of one more question that has really had me searching for answers lately. What is the real deal on low-carb diets? Are they safe or not???

So it's intimidating to me to even write about weight because then it means I have to think about it. I try to ignore it most of the time.....gee....that's been working well for me, eh?

Just the other night a few of my friends and I went out to dinner (my friends who are exercise maniacs). They were talking about going to Moab for a "ladies overnighter". Moab is a fantastic spot that I dearly love and have been there about 7 times. It's all red rock, hiking trails, natural arches, etc. So one of my "friends" (actually a neighbor who BUGS me to death) says "oh, if we go there Molly won't want to go because we'll all want to go running". I could've reached over and slapped her. My husband told me that I should've. But to keep the neighborhood all cozy and hospitable, I just said "well, I probably wouldn't want to go running, but I love doing the hikes."

I was fuming under my skin though.

I suppose it would be a huge tell-tale sign that I don't even like it when the subject of exercise comes up.

I'm one day closer to exercising (procrastination at it's best).

This is my first time on your blog but I love the post today and look forward to reading future post. I like how you interview different people as I would love to do that someday but for right now I will keeping checking back with you.
