Hello!!!!
I've always been "the skinny one" in my family, until recently. I've dieted before, even did some keto to keep things under control when I needed to lose 5 lbs, and could usually stay in healthy range.
A few years ago I launched a new business, and the combination of the stress, eating out, 18 hour workdays, has caused my belly to expand as fast as my company is. Before I knew it I was officially fat. And I suspect my cholesterol and BP are out of whack.
And of course I want to look as good as I can. My company is growing, so I am being profiled in the media. So when I see photos of me in the press I'd like to be proud of the work, not fret about how I look.
On top of it, I was divorced a few years ago, and so I'm also keeping my eyes open for my next suitor. Once I get this weight off, I believe I can better attract the man I want.
Glad I found these boards for support!
