<p>Hi, I'm a 23 year old woman who is a nutritionist and I am fat, not by many people standards but for mine, I am, for my profession I am, and no one has ever told me that in my professional life but I feel like I failed to myself and my profession and most importantly my future, who is going to want to be my patient? Am I going to have a job that I like? And I know this might seem like a lot but in this field your body is basically your presentation card. I try to not be as harsh on myself because I have pcos, insulin resistance and high levels of cortisol but that hasn't stopped all the successful people in the pcos world and I feel like I'm not doing enough, that I should work our harder, but if I'm the one that is supposed to help people to achieve healthy weight and lifestyles and I can't, how am I going to do that? </p>

<p>Hey there, I just wanted to say I don't think you're a failure. It's easy to see that you seem passionate about your profession, and you just want to show others that you truly care and are doing all you can to present it well. I think that's very admirable! I'm not too knowledgable about nutrition in general, but I think that you shouldn't be too hard on yourself, especially with the conditions you mentioned you had, the pcos and insulin resistance, and such. My sister deals with those things too, and I know that can be difficult to deal with. But really, as long as you're happy with the work you're doing, and you are doing what you can to keep yourself being healthy, then that alone is awesome. If nobody has said anything like that to you at work like you mentioned, then I really wouldn't worry about it, and I think it's just the intrusive thoughts. And even if people did say anything, screw them, because as long as you're happy, who cares what they think! As long as you're trying to be and keep healthy, no matter what healthy eating or exercise or anything, as long as you're true to yourself about your efforts then it's totally good enough and you're doing an awesome job. And again, you're not a failure by any means, okay? I hope I could help at least a little, or make you feel better. &lt;3</p>
