Greetings ladies and gents,
First of all I want to say thank you to the makers of this wonderful website for creating such a good tool that can help so many people. God bless you myfitnesspal crew, I really mean that. I can tell that you are helping a lot of stars to shine!
Now, I suppose that it is time for me to tell my own story.
I was born in Chelsea, London to a loving mother. She was a widow, my father died in convert operations in Buenos AIres during the Falklands war. Luckily, my mother was the daughter of an Indian railway baron and so was a woman of independent wealth who paid for me to avoid the comprehensive school system and go to the prestigious Eton College where I became a star rugby player. As I do not want to get too personal so as to allow users here to identify me I will skip ahead a few years, when I was in my late 20s and in my physical prime I was a leading star in more than a few Hollywood movies.
Since my movie acting prime I have gone from 5'10 160lbs to 5'10 169lbs and I am being told repeatedly by casting agents that I have to lose weight if I ever want to get back with the Hollywood set.
I really do feel very alone in this, it is not something I can talk about with my showbiz friends. I would love to hear from anyone else suffering from weight problems, I am also single and particularly interested in women in their 30s who also suffer from weight problems. Maybe we can face this devil down together.
Thank you and God bless!
