🔁 Listener Questions Answered:
Spencer:
“If you wanted to lose weight and also break an addictive habit like excess drinking, smoking, or gambling, do you think it would be better to tackle one and then the other—or do them both at the same time?”
Anonymous:
“I’ve lost 75 lbs in 2 years, but my partner hasn’t changed with me. They’re proud of me, but it’s creating a rift between us. I never expected getting healthy to change my marriage so much. How do I handle this?”
Josh:
“Will it always feel this isolating? Before, it was because I was fat—now it’s because I’m trying to fix it. Will I always feel like an outsider who just got a ticket to the show?”
