What made you in the mood?

Yeah, it's a revolution in how we look.

It's a revolution in our health.

It's got gigantic potential to help people who have not been able to be helped before.

And the data show that one in eight Americans

has tried one of these drugs, so that's a lot of millions of people, right?

And so it's creating all kinds of conversations, not just about how we feel and our health, but also how we look and how that matters in the world.

Like, I have a friend who takes the medicine, and he says...

You know, if you are able to eat just five French fries and you used to not be able to eat just five French fries and had to eat the whole plate of French fries, it gives you grounding in the idea that you can control food.

things in your life that you didn't think you could control.

So if you're a person who was completely helpless in the face of a plate of French fries and suddenly you get control of that, what else can you control?

Can you control your gym-going habits?

Can you control your

the way you relate to your children, the way you talk to your boss.

So my question was, like, if your body has changed so much, just the shell you walk around in,

and your mindset has changed so much about what's possible for you, wouldn't that affect the way you relate to everything and everyone in your life, including your most intimate relationships?

And what really interested me was this question of how the GLP-1 drugs affected a marriage, especially when one partner

is on the drugs, and the other partner isn't.

Well, we at The Times have a thing called a call-out where you ask the public a question and that question is posted on social media and in the paper and all over the place.

And then we get responses to that question.
