meet your newest dietitian bestie !!! 🎓
4 years later, lots of hectic chemistry, physiology and many breakdowns later your girl has officially made it as a dietitian (& nutritionist)
but my journey was not an easy one and it’s something i’ve never talked about
i started this degree with a passion to help people avoid where i had landed myself. obsessing over food. placing all of my worth on how i looked. chasing skinny. losing my happiness, my spark, my joy for life. my whole world revolved around what i ate and how it would impact how my body looked.
and when i started this degree i was still struggling, and i ended up dropping out of my very first trimester. i honestly thought that was uni over for me. but that was the switch that changed the entire course of my life. losing something that was so important to me made my realise all the things i had missed out on in life because i was so focused on controlling food and my body.
and so i stared back again in the second trimester. i even studied over summer to catch up. but starting again wasn’t easy. i was juggling trying the be the best student, healing my relationship with food, work, trying to make friends. it was really freaking hard. and there were numerous occasions where i came close to giving up. but i kept going because i remembered that girl who had to withdraw from her first trimester and how much she would want me to see it through. and so i did.
and here i am looking back today on how much i have changed, grown and evolved since that first ever day at uni. i’ve healed my relationship with food. i chase feeling strong, not skinny. i developed so much self confidence and self esteem. and i got my spark back.
looking back i wouldn’t change a single thing. because everything i went through now lives in the way i show up as a dietitian. i’m not just bringing a degree, i’m bringing lived experience, empathy and proof that it is possible to feel at peace in your body again. and i know my story is not uncommon.
if you are ready to feel strong, fuel your body properly, and finally make peace with food, i will be opening up spots for 1:1 dietitian support very soon 💌
