2 / 3What usually happens when you start losing weight?I slip on the same days as before, in the same patternPeople close to me tease me or invite me to eat “for company”I don’t know what weight I am aiming for or by whenHalfway through I give up myself, even though it was working

3 / 3Which phrase sounds most honest about you?“I’m afraid of what will happen when I lose weight”“I don’t know what I really want”“What people say matters to me”“I haven’t let go of one story yet”
