I agree lost dog. I'll be honest and say I snickered when I looked at the picture and read the caption... and that was because I found the irony in the situation. Honestly, I wouldn't pay her either, and it's sad that she can do herself such a dis-service just by being overweight... but in her profession that's what's going to happen. When someone sees a dietician they are going to expect someone thinner. Same with the personal trainer KFisher mentioned. If they're very overweight I'm going to have a hard time believing that they actually know what they're talking about. Maybe I'm biased becasue I've never been heavy, I know it must take one hell of a lot of effort to lose it once you've packed on dozens of pounds, and I highly respect it when people put forth that effort even though I've never been there. (Ok, wow... run on sentance, sorry! haha) Maybe this woman was heavier before and has lost 50lbs and is still working on her goals? That could very well be the case... but if it is then why didn't she start sooner? Why didn't she put her knowledge to good use when learning all of the things she was taught when becoming a dietician?
