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)
