But somehow a year later, it comes right back down to what it was before.

I know I've seen this for me or peace of mind.

Maybe you have a friend or you personally that, you know, they've gotten 73 degrees of fitness or wellness or vitality, you know, and you see them and they've lost weight.

They're going to the gym.
