Just identifying it is going to drastically reduce the risk that's going to happen.

So over time...

this guy over the course of a year, I think he lost like 35, 40 pounds.

And he got to the point where he was binging maybe once every two or three weeks, but he would still get really hard on himself about that two or three weeks or that, that interval.

And I said, Hey man, like look at how far you've come.

Don't let perfection be the enemy of really good like this.

If I showed you a snapshot of where you're at now versus where you were in

And I said, this is where you're going to be in nine months.

My guess is you would have taken that all day, every day.

You know what I mean?

And I said, listen, everybody has something they struggle with.

May not be binge eating.

Some people struggle with alcohol moderation or gambling or pick your poison.

The likelihood that the.

the inclination for just like the impulse for that to go away, very unlikely.

You're probably going to always deal with a little bit of that impulse, but learning tools to manage that, that's where it's at.

And I think so many people are really hard on themselves.

Not only do they, are they hard on themselves about the behavior, but they're hard on themselves for even having the thought, you know?

And so again, I really just try to meet people where they're at,

And try to just get them into execution mode.
