My DH has been eating like a normal person for 5 or 6 years now, although he still keeps a very clear mental list of exactly what he has eaten and won't have a biscuit at teatime because "I had one this morning" and is the one who monitors the family's fruit and veg intake most carefully and is still skinny.
We were discussing the rat race and getting off it etc the other day. He said he would like to retrain as a nutritionist one day.
Every bit of my body screamed "No! No! I'm never going back there again!"
I am terrified that it will leave him afraid of food again. It seems like there always has to be some kind of massive restricition on our food shopping. First it was purity of ingredients, then ethical production and now we're skint so much of that has gone , but of course the money thing makes going round the supermarket stressful!
Anyway, I digress. Is there any way retraining as a nutritionist could be a positive thing? I want him to follow his dreams but not at the expense of his health....
