An email sent to a nutritionist…
“Hi Ms. Jxxxxxxn,
Sorry for the direct and out-of-no-where email. My name’s Doug and I’m in need of some nutritional advice and was given your name. So, I want to lose weight. Who doesn’t, right??? Anyways, I’ve always had some body-image issues and my weight has been the thorn in my side. I’ve tried all the trendy diets and cleanses, but the number on the scale just yo-yos. I did the atkins diet for awhile, and that stuck but was really hard to sustain for anything longer than a month. With that said, I’ve decided to seek some nutritional counseling and see if that helps. I’ll be up front and say that I don’t have a ton of money, because a lot of my funds are allocated to other areas of my life right now– but we can’t talk $$ later.
So, a little about me…I’m a 31 year old male, 5’5 (5’7″ on a good day!), 196lbs (yikes, right!?!?). My goal weight is to be about 120lbs with a very slender and lean look. Obviously, I don’t want to look like skin stretched over bones, but I want to look just fabulous. I’m having some pretty intense surgery in April and want to make the most of my time pre-op to really lose some serious weight. Post-op in May or June I’ll be going in for a breast augmentation to complete the transition from male to female. Currently, I’m under a strict regimen of hormone pills — that alone is wreaking havok with my body! I’m not even a woman yet and I’m having PMS! Anyways, I digress. I know that my situation is a little outside the norm, but I wanted to at least contact you to see if you could help me get to my goal weight safely and sustainably.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Doug (Danielle)
