Hi there! My name is Melissa and I've never had serious weight issues until now...between Covid19 stress eating and being in shock that I could gain significant weight, I have really put myself in a bind. I'm a performer who is in perimenopause and I don't believe that I could lose any weight; in the past it took me 6 months to lose 15lbs. I know this is going to be a 2 year journey to get where I want to go (50 lbs off) and I'm afraid that I won't be able to stick it out because it takes SO LONG for me to see results that I get frustrated and disheartened. I have just been diagnosed with SILENT REFLUX (like regular acid reflux, but with WAY less signaling from your body so you don't always know what is bad for you to eat) and it's not been an easy road at all. I am hoping to get support and maybe even some specific help with regards to silent reflux. Thank you for reading!!

It may have been slow but you did lose the weight!
If you're into podcasts, then this link is for a podcast I listened to over the weekend. Not on silent reflux but hopefully it will helpful for the menopausal issues...
