My buddy Marissa is a nutrition lifestyle coach who works with various customers to coach them on healthy eating habits.
I like her to death, but she can be a bit obsessive and intense when it comes to all of her strict meal routines.
It makes it challenging for us to go out, let loose, and have some fun because she brings tasks into her social life… For instance, if both of us were out to lunch and I ordered something that was not quite healthy, she would take the time to suggest to me and others on the number of calories that I will be consuming. If it were up to Marissa, all our meals would be limited to the redprint for the customized nutrition program that she developed for her customers. It’s bad enough that she convinced myself and others to order healthy desserts online from a service that she subscribes to! The desserts are delicious, and I do love eating them, however there are times where I grab a big slice of cake from our number one bakery, of course, Marissa doesn’t recognize this, and I would like to keep it that way… And she means well, and I have asked her for advice when it comes to great nutrition, and she has helped myself and others to meal prep on some weekends when she is available. I recognize that her coaching program works because her customers have amazing results. Though I have not yet committed to signing up for her nutrition coaching sessions, by being her buddy I gain a lot of benefits like free nutrition advice, and best practice routines, and having a nutrition lifestyle coach as a buddy absolutely has its benefits.
