Responsibility.

I had my first meeting with the dietician. It was somewhat underwhelming and somewhat overwhelming. I was weighed. I answered many dietary questions. We discussed portion sizes. We talked about the importance of fiber and whole grains. I got my food log and my guide to eating from the food pyramid.

Yep. That's it. There's no "diet" associated with this. There are very few rules. I am a reasonably intelligent adult and it is my job to make the choices. The groups and one-on-one's are to provide strategies and support but it's my responsibility.

My intellect knows the rightness of this. My emotions are screaming foul at the top of their lungs. How can I both know I can do this and know I can't do this simultaneously and feel that both are absolutely true?
