And now, our speaker.

I'm Sam Gee.

I'm a compulsive overeater.

I grew up in Long Island, New York.

And from a very young age, maybe four or five years old, that's me after a relapse, I had absence for 10 years and I regained my weight.

and then and more and that's me in the same spot uh which is about um 10 or 12 years apart still in relapse and then with recovery that's my beagle she's now 16 uh and still with us and there i think she was two and that she might have been 15 maybe it was 13 years apart um Like many people growing up, I'm 64, and like many people growing up in the 70s, being 100 pounds overweight back then was a huge amount of weight.

Here, today you walk into any store, you go to Walmart, and you'll see a lot of people who are 100 pounds overweight as if it's nothing.

You have eight minutes left.
