Dear Future Client,
We haven't met yet but I already feel like I know you. I know what you're struggling with and I know you feel like there's no end in sight. I know what it's like to hate your body; to look at yourself in the mirror and wonder how you got to this moment. I know what it's like to hate exercise, fearful of moving your body because, with so little faith in your own strength, you don't think you'll be able to do it.
I understand what it's like to fear food and eating. I know what it's like to think if you eat one dessert, you'll never stop. Should you stop eating carbs all together? Is sugar really poison? How much butter is too much?
I know what it's like for food to be your best friend. It's there for you when you're happy, sad, lonely or bored. Food doesn't judge you, but you can't do the same for food. You label it good vs. bad or safe vs. dangerous.
I know you're thinking if you could just recommit to the diet that "worked" last time, it'd be ok. But what does "working" really mean? Is getting on the scale once, twice or three times a day really working? Did everything really get better in your life when you lost 10 pounds? Has the scale really ever been kind to you?
I know it's scary to think of giving all of this up and learning to trust your body and make peace with food. I know that it seems almost crazy to give up your food rules. I know it seems impossible to change but I'm writing to tell you that change IS possible.
We haven't met yet, but I believe in you! You can do this and it starts with you finally saying "enough!" Enough of the diets, enough of the self loathing and enough of the fear.
You are capable of so much and I want to help you realize it. I'm betting on you and me! Together we'll build your new relationship with food and with your body.
We haven't met yet but I know that when we do, we will do amazing things together.
Until we meet, I wish you healthiest regards,
Aaron Flores, RDN
