Wow. I've been having luck lately with kind and compassionate professionals, so I think this fed my expectation this this new one, a nutritionist, would also be.

She was not friendly. She was not warm. She couldn't connect. She showed no basic kindness beyond the basic, 'how are you?'

But most of all:
I was meeting with her -- and I said as much in clear writing in dozens of informative write up's about my medical life and history -- to gain help in creating balance for overall and improved health, and weight loss, and in a way that respects anorexia. My anorexia is severe, and I mention it multiple times in her intake forms and my paperwork, but she ignored that and focused on my *current weight*. My weight is due directly to
- a thyroid ablation that ruined my health and life
- bad medications that directly cause weight gain.
That's. It.

It's suicidal-making to be the physical weight of 2 humans, and through no fault of my own. Well Ms. Nardone doesn't have a brain that can believe such a thing. Nor does she have any compassion for ...fat people. When doctors or anyone in the medical field ignores one critical issue because of their personal fat bias, it's dangerous for me; she did not care.

She couldn't believe that I already eat a nearly completely plant-based diet, with some lean meats; no processed foods, no dairy, very little ANYTHING harmful. I'm a member of a CSA (getting vegetables in a weekly share), I shop at Honest Weight Food Coop. I [expletive] EAT vegetables - constantly. It's what I've done my entire life. And I said as much in all of the paperwork that I submitted to her.

The last nutritionist I had was gentle, kind, compassionate, and actually *focused* on the anorexia, even while I was fat. She gave wise encouragement and guidance. I was only able to see her once though, and she's in a practice that I can't go to anymore. I wish I could have stayed with her.

Ms. Nardone was offended by the idea that I might already be educated on how to eat, and noted at our abrupt close, "why do you need me then?" And the fact that she didn't know, told me all I need to know. It might help you as well.
