We are changing ourselves, and that's always scary.

We are changing the way we eat, which changes the way we look, which is going to change the way people act towards us and then it makes us change the way we act back at them.

I don't know anyone who wants that much change. Heck, it always cracks me up when lottery winners go, "Nothing will change, except I have more money." But that changes everything!

Likewise, we think we will lose weight, and nothing else will change. Yet, everything else does; and that makes us uncertain.

As someone who is a veteran of Change, I say: embrace it! Figure it out!

If, like me, you've spent formative years being overweight and having social difficulties, here's our chance to reboot that part of our personality, and make it work better.

How many things did we decide during our teen years that were really good decisions we want to stand by for the rest of our lives?

Yes, that's what I thought.
