Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the disturbing thoughts that you have concerning your weight. Weight is more about the health aspect before the looks. This seems to be the reverse in the society nowadays. I will like to know what you weigh and height are to estimate your body mass index. Should it be lower than the recommended value, then we would be working on this. If it is not the case, please consider other measures approaching and talking about your weight such that you can feel comfortable and happy the way you are than the way people would have loved to see you be.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
