I am a 63 year old man and was hung up on the fact that I have never
had a girlfriend if I was fat and the girlfriends I have had left when I gained weight. Well that is the truth but not the whole truth but it was so easy
to just blame it on the fat.

Lots of us feal better emotionaly and physicaly when we lose weight but in
my case it's extreme. When I am thin my sleep apnia, irritability and depression either clear up or get a whole lot better. And it goes without
saying that no longer being fat helps our sell esteme. But in my case something else happens my bad stuttering is usualy about 80% less as a
result of a lowcarb diet and weight loss. So I am just about a different
person till I relapse and my poor self esteme, depression, irritability, stuttering and weight return. It took a lot of work to see that my poor luck
with wemen probably has more to do with my stuttering, depression and poor
self esteme than it did with my being fat. Heck it wasn't till recently after
going to a stuttering forum that I found out a great many prople who stutter
find dating almost impossiable.

I was doing verry well till about a year ago someone got me slurred up about
my obcession that wemen rejected me because of my weight so I went back
to the food and regained 50Lbs. I think I have relapsed over that issue 3 or
4 times but feal I may have put it behind me now. Well today is my 3rd day
back on a food plan and it feels good to start again.

Welcome back!
