So I don't have those physiological triggers to know when to eat.

Like it's a failure of will.

And then being embarrassed about the food that I was eating.

So sneaking food...

You know, when I was home by myself having a pint of ice cream because I could and I could hide it.

I do have other chronic conditions that developed over time.

I had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

And I feel for the first time in my life, like this may be it.

Like, I may be able to keep this weight off because I've addressed the food noise.

Yeah, so flying home on a trip, a work trip, and I was in the window seat.

And a guy sat in the middle seat and said, Oh, I'm so glad.

I'm sitting next to a small person.

You know, he said, you know, sometimes you're in the middle seat and you're crowded between two big people and it's really uncomfortable.

And so on the one hand, I'm like, yay, I'm a small person.

But on the other hand...

Really pissed off because when people looked at me before or sat next to me on the plane before, were they thinking these things the whole time where I'm trying to have a nice conversation and all that's in their head is I'm stuck next to this fat person?

Well, and even at work.

But I feel like...

The marketing team is putting me out there more.

But I feel like there's this different perception of me.
