Brooke,

I’m struggling with my Why for losing weight. I am a badass robotic gyn surgeon. And I’m 40 lbs overweight. Intellectually, I want to lose the weight. But when I was young, and all through residency, I was thin/little and I was not taken seriously. Not only was I a girl, but I was a little girl. For me, the weight = Gravitas in a man’s world. And being thin = weakness. How can you help me overcome this wrong thinking, when now my weight is my power and presence.
