The difficulty for me is that from everything I've seen and everything I know about behavioral change,

If you've spent decades trying to control yourself, if you will, around food,

And the only end is to be thinner, not to actually change how you eat or make anything easier or whatever.

Just to look thinner.

And that's hard.

Behavioral change is hard.

Eating differently, shopping differently, getting used to different tastes, all this stuff.

If someone then takes care of the thinness for you, that tends not to be the point that people like me go, right, well, then fabulous.

I'm going to learn how to drink water.

I'm going to really put the effort in now.

Because for 20 years I've been putting the effort in and now something's helping me out.

And I've not been wired to think that I should care about what's going into my body as much as I care about the size of my body.

And so now what's going to happen is I think there'll be a lot of addiction transference.

What does that mean?

I think that if food was your drug of choice, then when you have a hard time, you may be picking something else up.

Right.

It could be social media, shopping.

Yeah.

It could be alcohol, whatever.

Yeah.
