And I said, boy, would I love a Fig Newton right now.

And Julius said, you want some Fig Newtons?

Honestly, he takes me to his bedroom, and under the bed are Oreos, Fig Newtons,

True story.

I mean, Cheetos, Red Hot Cheetos, Ruffles, every, I mean, it's like a store under there.

And I went, but I was just like, what is going on in here, Julius?

Oh, no.

Yeah.

No, I don't want you to cry.

I want you to tell the story because I thought this was a seminal moment for you.

But as you're sharing that story, Julius, I could hear other people sniffling, and I could hear other people thinking about how you've allowed weight in your own life to hold you back from something that was really important.

Lots of us have not shown up in the way that we needed to show up in our lives because for one reason or another, you wanted to lose 10 pounds or 15 pounds or you didn't feel like you were enough to be there in that moment.

So I really do, you know, you and I have talked about this a lot.

hope that you come to some peace about it.

Yes.

Understanding, number one, the weight wasn't your fault.

And also, I was sharing with Julius, I said it reminds me of how many times I've gone to the doctor, anybody else done that?

And you, like, take one foot off the scale when you're being weighed.

And if you're 211 pounds, like 208 is not going to make a difference in what the number really is.

But you think that it is in your mind if you're three or five pounds less that it's going to make a difference.
