Today I want to share my experience of a food angel with you. Sharon Honson is a dietician in Cessnock, New South Wales, Australia. I first began seeing her in late 2014 when my gp gave me a care plan as a 45+ obese woman with complex health issues. I disliked dieticians back then because I had formed judgments around them that I told myself it was okay to have. As I was still a bit unaware then of my own attitude towards my body and diet, I didn't know that I was drawing people to me that reflected my own lack of compassion and understanding for myself. I blamed and judged them for mirroring what I needed to see on myself. In stepped Sharon. I thought I knew what I needed to about diet but I went along in order to discover if there were some things I could tweak. My blood tests had shown my cholesterol was up and I was determined I was not going to begin medicating for it. Armed with my usual mistrust and lofty attitude, I showed up ready to tell her how to help me and to my amazement she listened and agreed. I'd never had that from a dietician before. I'd grown used to either being firm or being silent and I'd never felt understood and heard before. Again, I didn't know that now I'd changed my view of myself to a more loving one, I attracted more kindness to me.
In the two years since then I've seen her about 10 times. When my free visits ran out, I paid to see her. When I felt compelled to leave my beloved job, she held the space for me to break open without malice; when I found that I needed to remove all animal products, stimulants and sweeteners of any kind from my diet, she helped me explore my options; when I found I needed more natural drinks, she gave me nettles to make the tea I liked; when I beat up on myself for only eating tinned vegatables due to having no other option for months, she reminded me of how fabulously I was doing given my circumstances (no electricity); when I moved back into town and began creating incredible meals, she applauded me and asked for recipes and tips; I was treated with respect, dignity and compassion always and it was perfectly timed for me.
Sharon knows what she's doing. She is smart, learned, lives her own philosophy and has a very big heart. I cannot rate her highly enough as a human being and as a professional. If you live anywhere near Cessnock and you need a dietician for ANY reason, please do yourself a favour and get in to see Sharon. I may not see her again because my visits are now up and I'm moving next year but I will be staying in touch. I'll still be sharing new recipes and recalling the food angel that held a space for me when I broke in two and learned to love my body again.
