And the best way I've ever heard described by a researcher was, you know, imagine you're falling in love for the first time with somebody. And at some point they say, I love you. And it's amazing.

Well, and you know what? We can get into the weeds on food addiction theory. The interesting thing is, is when you look at what are the causes and conditions that might create this?
