I met the most interesting person today.  Although I like to complain about my job and often times I feel like I want to quit, I have to say it is never boring.  The people that come into weight loss centers are fascinating.  One such person came in today.  Her name was Sarah and she was hoping to lose about 100 pounds.  The interesting thing was she had lost 91 pounds before but has managed to put it all back on and then some.

We start off asking our clients general questions.  For example, your day to day eating habits and activity.  Sarah told me that she shops everyday and eats out for lunch and dinner.  Basically that is all she does.  She didn’t have a care in the world.  But when I questioned her further I realized how unhappy she was and how she had no one to love or to take care of.  Everything in her life revolved around Sarah and what she was going to buy for herself and eat for that day.  It was so sad to see.  I left after talking to her and went on my break to count my blessings.  When you see something like that your whole perspective changes.
