When was the first message of you have to be thinner?

Starting at the primary wound.

Mom.

Yeah, of

because the and it's cliche but it's cliche because it's true for all of us there is that is the primary relationship it is quite literally primal your relationship with your mother is your literal survival as an infant and a child okay so starting there

then becomes a pattern that you're feeling and experiencing.

It is very real.

I'm not taking that away from you.

But what ends up happening, honey, it's like if I told you, Marcie, we're sitting in a room and I say, close your eyes and tell me all the places, you know, I want you to take note of everything in the room that's red, okay?

Oh, I'm sorry, open your eyes, take note of everything in the room that's red.

You look around the room, you got 60 seconds, you're like, red, red, red, red over there, red in the cushion.

Close your eyes, tell me everywhere there's blue.

you'll have no idea.

You're looking for red because that's what's playing out inside of you all of the time.

And what I'm trying to tell you is that when the work is done on the primary wound, the billboard doesn't matter anymore.

You will see a different color in the room.

And I know, because I'm talking to you about something that's several steps away.

So for a person that you're like, listen, I'm trying to stand up right now.

You're talking to me about sprinting.

You're absolutely right.
