My goal is to lose 23 pounds, and my motivation is, all
of the above. I’ve developed weight related health issues, I don’t like
the way I look and hate to even look in the mirror, because this body doesn’t seem like mine; my self-esteem is very low, at this point.
I never had a weight problem until I developed hypothyroidism (under active thyroid), at which time I, literally, ballooned, gaining 30 pounds in less than 2 months.
