And sometimes people can't do that. And that happens whenever we make any big change. People may have experienced that if they decided to have a weight loss journey or change their life in some way, that there are people that really fit in our lives for a certain point that can't journey with you through that transformation. And that's sad.

Finding sort of a trusted health care provider that you can partner with is a part of that journey. But to really have hope, this is not a hopeless condition. It will not be with you forever. You will be in a place where you're free from this.
