Weathering the perfect storm

Yet another newbie here to say hi and hoping to connect with others on the journey. :smile:

I'm in my late 20s, and in the last few years, I have gone from cooking-for-two with an 9-5 job (and that awesome early-20s metabolism :tongue:) to cooking-for-one and working/studying for up to 15 hours a day, which has led me into some bad habits - convenience and comfort foods and very little exercise, coupled with some medical issues that make me hold on to weight. I've got more-or-less 10kg that I need to lose to get myself back to a healthy weight. (Superficially, it'd also be really nice not to have people look sideways at my stomach and wonder if I'm pregnant. Thanks so much, mum. :grumble:)

Anyway, none of the excuses above are going to change in the near future, so I've finally reached the conclusion that I need to find a way to work with what I've got, and I'm hoping that MFP will be a good start. I'd love to connect with others in the same boat! I've written a little more about myself in my profile, so if you've gotten this far, please check it out! :smile:
