Opinions please

Ok guys I have something very serious I need some advice on. I live a very very public life, very much on social media, I am top promoter in a health and wellness company, and I am struggling with my weight! Like a lot of you this struggle is way more then just the scale going up and down this has been a life long battle of gaining and losing the same 100lbs and it always comes back so much harder. I’m 37 years old, my girls are 7 and 14 I want to enjoy life with them and my weight is holding me back so so much. Now for the question, because of my position in my company I am so nervous to publically talk about my up and coming procedure. I think what I am scared of is people thinking the products I represent don’t work, which they do, but for me what I need is way more then a pill or supplement ever could do... I am also afraid of judgement and not understanding but I am hoping that by sharing my journey maybe it will help educate the public more about everything. I am just really conflicted about it all, this is my career and my livelihood. Just scared

    Do you have a hernia, Gerd or gallbladder issues? Plenty of people just say they're having that corrected, then say their following a physician supervised diet plan afterwards. Sent from my XT1254

  • If it was me I say protect your livelihood and family and don't tell your employer or people you work with anything (before or after).

I agree ... keep it private. Especially in that line of work. If they ask just say your eating less and working out more. The end. They don’t need to know.
