My eating habits are absolutely garbage and I'm thinking about getting in touch with a nutritionist. Any suggestions for where to start or things I should be considering?

See a dietician not a nutritionist. Dieticians are legally registered and have to prove their expertise, whereas anyone can call him or herself a “nutritionist”

I've tried goals like that and have found myself unsuccessful. It's like I don't hold myself accountable to my personal goals if there's no one else involved (yeah, it's a larger problem...)

I think what I need is help getting pointed in the right direction - I have no imagination when it comes to what to eat that's healthy and will hold my interest long enough/give me enough variety to stick to it. And if I don't figure that out with enough headway to grocery shop, that week is a lost cause to junk food and takeout.

Anyone else been there before? Does having someone help you come up with your meal plans help give the jump start you need?

I found my nutritionist through my primary care physician. She helped me identify key habits to change (honestly way easier than I expected). She’s helped me review menus for places by my client and has helped with food delivery while I was getting on track. No calorie counting just focusing on food quality, quantity, and timing. I now check in with her once a month over the phone but lost a lot of weight, feel more confident, and have maintained the success on my own. Feel free to DM me if you want more info

2 things have helped me! 1) whole30 - seriously changed my attitude towards food, 2) meal delivery kits - which I cook now at weekends instead of takeouts and are much better portion controlled & healthy.

I’ve been getting back into healthy eating as well. It would be easier if it were just me but I need to get my husband to eat healthier as well. He also feels like cold meals (salads) aren’t really meals so I feel like whatever I cook has more calories than if I could just eat salads. One thing to keep in mind is that if you want this to last, it needs to be a lifestyle change. What worked for me is starting with what meals we like to eat, then think of how to make that healthier with substitutes, and not doing anything too drastic. Increase the portion of veggies and fruits you’re eating. It can take over 2 months for form a habit but keep at it, and don’t beat yourself up over “cheat” meals. Also keep healthy snacks around you, like nuts, etc. Once you start to feel physically better it makes it easier to continue.

I recently got a job offer from a company I used to work for that has a great work/life balance and culture but has a slower track to get promoted. My current employer has a not great work/life balance but it’s much easier to get promoted. Currently 5 years into my career currently bouncing between a project lead and a discipline manager… it’s a decent pay bump- 30%. But is it worth giving up the future potential advancements ?

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet.

I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
