A few things to know about Masha

Masha believes in living large.
Masha has carried extra weight since a child—-this annoys Masha since she has also always been quite conscientious about her health (stupid genes). But Masha feels it would be overstating the case to say that she “struggles” with her weight. Masha can’t be bothered to actually struggle.
Masha loves many things, but has a particular fondness for cooking, music and cats.
Masha has a PhD in something technical and esoteric. She feels that this gives her a license to use pretentious words and phrases such as “thus,” “therefore”, and “such as.” Also, speaking of herself in the third person and semicolons. Feel free to point out to her that you find this annoying.
Masha has had some sad things happen in her life. One relevant thing, when Masha was 29 her mother died after a long difficult cancer related to her (genetic!!) PCOS. Masha definitely has issues because of this.
Masha has never really been committed enough to be a yo-yo dieter. Nonetheless, she has lost and gained weight many times in her life—-although not usually intentionally (in either direction).
This time, Masha is serious.
