I'm 5"3'. I'm gonna post a picture soon.

But, I've got a rare genetic condition called lipodystrophy (kobberling-Dunnigan familial partial lipodystrophy) which means there is no adipose tissue or fat in my extremities. Unfortunately, fat can still grow in certain places on my middle and around my face and neck (attractive, I know). Therefore, I'm doing something really difficult: basically trying to eliminate all fat from my body. This is difficult, but unfortunately, to avoid diabetes and heart disease I have to lose the weight around these dangerous areas. I've already noticed a huge difference in my body and my health. And, fortunately, I have a raging metabolism on my side, making this feat seem possible.

We'll see. I really like this diet so even if I don't lose anymore weight I will remain on it.
