Chandra describing her diet to Allison.

Hi, Allison. Sorry I'm a little late.

No problem. I was just finishing up some paperwork, so it's good timing. I see you brought with you the paper where you wrote down everything you ate and drank yesterday. May I look at it?

Only if you promise not to laugh.

I promise. Why would I laugh?

Well... 'cuz I eat so bad. My mom is always telling me that, but when I saw it on paper...let's just say it's a good thing that I came in. What do you think?

I think that you were honest in writing down everything, and that's important. Let's take a look.
