Hey Carrie,
I am sooo not a health food nut naturally, but I have had many health issues over the years and hated taking medication so started seeing a naturopath. She was really strict and it cost a fortune to buy all this stuff - powder/ liquid supplements (which I just put in the cupboard and never took), plus the consultation every time. I never stuck to the plan - too regimented and strict, just did not fit with my lifestyle.`But I always was interested in nutrition/ health and so when I was made redundant, gained 30 kilos I knew that by learning to be a naturopath and understand it first hand, this was right for me - my health issues are still here, and I need to fix them responsibly from the inside out if I want a happy, healthy life.
I have only started learning first hand about what I should put in my mouth, and am only starting to follow it. You should see it at school - I am surrounded by health freaks who have lived this life naturally through choice years before taking on what they are studying - massage therapists, kinesiologists, reflexology, nutritionalists, homeopaths - and me, the mega fraud, in her tracky pants and tshirt, easily the largest girl there by far.
So I am enjoying finding healthy things I like to eat - so not the old me - where are my burger and fries???
Hope the gym went well, and have a great weekend,
Louie
