I want to be a dietitian.

I want to be a dietitian.

This is the whole reason I struggle through everyday trying to be a good full time mom along with squeezing in being a good full time student. I also understand that to be a dietitian I will have to "live what I preach" which means balancing my diet and choosing healthier foods and reducing the amount of sugar I eat.

I decided now is the time. I have been feeling good and eating better, not dieting, not trying to lose weight, but making small healthier choices. I have also been enjoying the benefits the nutrition classes I have taken tell me I will experience.

All until I found out last week that I have a nutrition test on Saturday. I have been so busy with all my other classes that this online nutrition class was put on the back burner. I have been stressing and studying as much as I can stand all week to learn what I should have spent the last 5 weeks learning and all I can think about it food. Not healthy food like the book tells me to eat, but snacks.

I love to snack while I study- especially in really intense study. So I sat there after a couple weeks of very little sugar and trying to eat better, eating my favorite treat- rolo's and pretzels, reading about how a person's appetite is triggered by environmental cues like studying and seeing/ smelling foods etc.

Yep. My nutrition class is the cause of my unhealthy food choices for this week. One of these days I will get it down.
