So, good thing for the day -
I was at my desk working and having my 3pm snack: a protein ball and broccoli with vinaigrette dip. A co-worker walked by and asked me what the protein ball was - she asked me if it was a meatball.
So I told her and she started asking me about nutrition, how long I've been eating like this, what i like about it, how I learned about it, what got me into it, etc. She started telling me about how she wants to learn about good health - she's pretty thin and she said she's recently realized that thin doesn't equal healthy, and has no idea if she's actually healthy or not.
She was asking me a ton of questions (mostly about vitamins and whole foods and fiber and protein) and I was trying to answer to the best of my ability. She then asked me if I'd ever thought about becoming a nutritionist or something, and i told her that I've looked into it a little bit and might do it someday & work with kids in poorer neighborhoods - not right now though. She said I was like the team nutritionist and needed a sign outside my cube, like "the doctor is in." Someone was waiting to talk to me about a project, sitting in an armchair near my cube. So the coworker asking me all the questions left and I said "NEXT!" We laughed. We cried. It was fun.
