I feel like these last, what, three years, three and a half years has been a period of tremendous growth that I didn't realize was possible because now I can show up and I can be my best self.
At work, I can be my best self as a spouse and as a friend and start to go to therapy and really start to do this inner work that I didn't, you know, how to communicate and how to regulate my emotions because now this hunger thing has been removed.
And so ironically now I'm what, 145 pounds now, my BMI is overweight and I feel I'm living my best life.
Like I'm not super shredded, but I've done all these,
amazing other things outside of just the diet and exercise that I didn't realize was possible because I've been thinking about this hunger drive for so long that it's just eaten away at every other aspect of my life that I didn't realize was doing it at the time.
Yeah, but I guess the weight is still part of it, but I didn't realize how less of... It becomes less about the weight and it just becomes this, yes, now I have the freedom to just show up and like...
do all sorts of other amazing things because i'm not spending all of this cognitive bandwidth thinking about food and about how hungry i am um and so yeah i remember thinking that people who kind of talk about like it's more than you know just your weight and you know you would have asked me 10 years ago i've been like that's total bs but here i am now uh you know is that what you would have told your patients
No, I wouldn't have said, no, that's BS.
I think there was a certain point where I had said, it's not just about the weight.
I think that was a very brief period where I was feeling pretty emotional about me not being able to control my hunger.
Very early on in med school, I remember kind of thinking that, you know,
It's not about the weight.
It's not about the weight.
But at a certain point it is because at 185, 190, joints start to hurt.
I can't walk a block without feeling winded and having, you know, incredible back cramps.
And so, you know, it becomes a huge, and I was snoring.
I didn't have diagnosed sleep apnea, but the snoring was pretty awful, according to my husband.
I'm sure he made a joke of you.
It's a great question.
Mike has been the most amazing partner, husband, boyfriend throughout this whole journey.
