As I've talked about ad nauseam, with the exception of the last 10 years, I literally cannot remember a time in my life when I was not told to lose weight.

Thank you so much for sharing a written version. I have learnt so much English from your YouTube content. Transcripts of podcasts and captions of videos help me alot. The beautiful way you speak continues to inspire me to learning and speaking more English. And I can't tell how much your insights blow my mind. I wish more Joanne Molinaros on Earth :)) Great love and respect from Iran ❤️🌹
