One quick thought is that being supportive of someone doesnt mean to say great job all the time, its telling someone the truth.
I hope things go well for you as a dietician.

I enjoy it too and this weekend is the first weekend I went overboard with the sweets. I usually look forward to making something with my kids, this weekend I made some cookies that were just too good to resist. (I just ate 8 of them and they arent that small either) sigh....back to the drawing board.
