You must deal with so many people that are struggling that come to you and they say, listen, I've got these big goals. I'm overweight. I don't feel good. I've got diabetes here, cardiovascular problem here, inflammation here. And they say to you that they want to change. You know, you can see it in their face. They're desperate, but they don't change for whatever reason.
