168
00:09:57,586 --> 00:10:00,620
BECAUSE I'VE LET MYSELF
GET TO THIS POINT.

169

I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
TO GET MYSELF BETTER

170

I'M KILLING MYSELF.

171
00:10:13,965 --> 00:10:17,310
RIGHT NOW, I'M CONCERNED
THAT THE SURGERY IS TOO MUCH

172
00:10:17,310 --> 00:10:19,551
FOR HER BODY TO HANDLE.

173
00:10:19,551 --> 00:10:23,172
SOMETHING MINOR CAN PUSH
HER BODY OVER, AND SHE CAN DIE.

174
00:10:23,172 --> 00:10:26,103
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU
TO LOSE 100 POUNDS

175
00:10:26,103 --> 00:10:28,000
BEFORE WE CAN DO
YOUR SURGERY.

176

I'M WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.

177
00:10:31,241 --> 00:10:35,551
SURGERY IS MY ONLY HOPE,
AND IT'S MY MOTIVATION RIGHT NOW

178
00:10:35,551 --> 00:10:40,275
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I CAN HAVE
A CHANCE AT A NORMAL LIFE.

179
00:10:40,275 --> 00:10:43,034
YOU LOST 150 POUNDS.

180
00:10:43,034 --> 00:10:44,551
YOU'VE DONE VERY WELL,

181
00:10:44,551 --> 00:10:47,655
SO I'M GOING TO APPROVE
YOU FOR SURGERY.

182
00:10:47,655 --> 00:10:49,172
YES.

183
00:10:49,172 --> 00:10:53,896
I KNOW THIS IS MY LAST HOPE
TO BECOME NORMAL.

184
00:10:53,896 --> 00:10:56,448
AFTER THIS, SHE'LL BE
ABLE TO EAT LESS,

185
00:10:56,448 --> 00:10:59,206
AND HER FOOD OBSESSION
SHOULD GO AWAY.

186
00:11:06,758 --> 00:11:10,310
THIS WEIGHT GAIN
IS UNACCEPTABLE.

187
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:11,758

188
00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:14,241
Nita:
JUST RELAX, AND YOU'LL DO IT.

189
00:11:14,241 --> 00:11:16,482
WHEN YOU GET UPSET, YOU CAN'T.

190
00:11:16,482 --> 00:11:19,379
THIS IS A PATHOLOGICAL
SITUATION THAT,

191
00:11:19,379 --> 00:11:22,448
IF SHE DOESN'T TAKE IT
VERY SERIOUSLY,

192
00:11:22,448 --> 00:11:26,206
SHE'S GOING BACK TO HER
ORIGINAL WEIGHT VERY QUICKLY.

193
00:11:26,206 --> 00:11:28,689

I'M AN INDEPENDENT PERSON.

Dr. Nowzaradan:
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH SUSAN.

200
00:11:50,448 --> 00:11:54,241
SHE'S STOPPED WITH THE EXCUSES,
AND SHE'S STAYING ON TRACK.

201
00:11:54,241 --> 00:11:56,241
I THINK IT'LL BE GOOD
TO GO AHEAD

202
00:11:56,241 --> 00:11:59,379

FROM YOUR STOMACH.

AFTER THE SURGERY,

204

SHE'LL BE ABLE TO WALK BETTER

BUT WE'RE EXPOSING
A LOT OF TISSUE,

206
00:12:08,068 --> 00:12:12,620

IS POTENTIAL FOR INFECTION.

207
00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:15,827

HAVING PROBLEM WITH HER INCISION

208

5 DAYS AGO,

209
00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:20,068
BUT SHE DIDN'T NOTIFY ME
OR THE STAFF,

210
00:12:20,068 --> 00:12:23,068
SO SHE DEVELOPED SERIOUS
INFECTION IN HER WOUND,

211
00:12:23,068 --> 00:12:26,275
AND NOW PART OF THE WOUND
HAS BECOME OPEN.

212

THIS IS A VERY
SERIOUS SITUATION.

213

WE'RE GOING TO PARTIALLY CLOSE
THE WOUND AND PLACE A WOUND VAC,

215

00:19:58,172 --> 00:20:01,034
THIS IS NOT JUST A MATTER
OF SLIPPING UP.

332
00:20:01,034 --> 00:20:03,586
IT SIGNALS
A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE

333
00:20:03,586 --> 00:20:05,862
TO THE LIKELIHOOD
OF FAILURE.

334
00:20:05,862 --> 00:20:08,241
BEAR IN MIND,
WHEN YOU'RE 600 POUNDS,

335
00:20:08,241 --> 00:20:13,896
THE FAILURE OF A SURGERY
IS 95%,

336
00:20:13,896 --> 00:20:18,241
SO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO BE BACK TO 400,

337
00:20:18,241 --> 00:20:21,137
500 POUNDS IS VERY HIGH.

338
00:20:21,137 --> 00:20:23,206
HONESTLY, I DON'T WANT
TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS

339
00:20:23,206 --> 00:20:25,275
AND REVERT BACK TO THE --

340
00:20:25,275 --> 00:20:27,000
BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT A LIFE.

341
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,517
WELL, I KNOW,
BUT THE BALL

342
00:20:29,517 --> 00:20:31,000
IS IN YOUR COURT.I KNOW.

343
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,137
AND YOU NEED TO GET BACK ON
TRACK BEFORE YOU GAIN ANY MORE.

344
00:20:36,137 --> 00:20:39,620
Dr. Nowzaradan: THIS PAST YEAR,
SUSAN HAS LOST OVER 100 POUNDS

345
00:20:39,620 --> 00:20:42,275
AND HAS BEEN DOING WELL,

346
00:20:42,275 --> 00:20:44,275
BUT I AM VERY
CONCERNED RIGHT NOW

347
00:20:44,275 --> 00:20:47,103
ABOUT HER
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR.

348
00:20:47,103 --> 00:20:50,172
THERE HAS TO BE SIGNIFICANT
EMOTIONAL ISSUES

349
00:20:50,172 --> 00:20:51,931
THAT ARE COMING
TO THE SURFACE

350
00:20:51,931 --> 00:20:54,482
AND THAT ARE AT
THE ROOT OF THIS.

351
00:20:54,482 --> 00:20:58,172
SO ANY OTHER BAD HABIT,
ANY ALCOHOL, ANY TOBACCO?

352
00:20:58,172 --> 00:20:59,137
NO.

353
00:20:59,137 --> 00:21:00,689
WELL, TOBACCO, YES.

354
00:21:00,689 --> 00:21:03,724
WHY ARE YOU
SMOKING AGAIN?

355
00:21:03,724 --> 00:21:06,758
SMOKING IS GOING TO BE
MOST DEVASTATING THING

356
00:21:06,758 --> 00:21:09,206
FOR DEVELOPING
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.

357
00:21:09,206 --> 00:21:12,310
OKAY.SO WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?

358
00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:14,000
WHO BUYS THE CIGARETTES?

359
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,931
ME.

360
00:21:14,931 --> 00:21:16,172
WHY?

361
00:21:18,551 --> 00:21:19,689
WHAT IS GOING ON?

362
00:21:19,689 --> 00:21:22,068
ARE YOU IN YOUR
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE MODE?

363
00:21:22,068 --> 00:21:25,931
ARE YOU MAD AT YOURSELF,
OR ARE YOU PUNISHING YOURSELF?

364
00:21:25,931 --> 00:21:27,310
I DON'T HAVE
AN ANSWER FOR YOU.

365
00:21:27,310 --> 00:21:34,275
DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD SEE
A THERAPIST AND FIGURE THAT OUT?

366
00:21:34,275 --> 00:21:35,689
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO TELL YOU.

367
00:21:35,689 --> 00:21:37,931
WELL, YOU NEED
TO FIGURE THAT OUT,

368
00:21:37,931 --> 00:21:40,241
SO I'M SENDING YOU
BACK TO THE THERAPIST

369
00:21:40,241 --> 00:21:42,758
BECAUSE YOU NEED
TO GET BACK ON TRACK.

370
00:21:42,758 --> 00:21:44,275
OKAY?
YES.

371
00:21:44,275 --> 00:21:46,517
SO WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE
YOUR EATING HABIT.

372
00:21:46,517 --> 00:21:47,931
WE'RE GOING TO
STOP SMOKING.

373
00:21:47,931 --> 00:21:49,310
YOU'RE GOING TO
SEE A THERAPIST,

374
00:21:49,310 --> 00:21:51,000
AND WE'RE GOING TO
SEE YOU IN 2 MONTHS,

375
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,310
AND IF YOU LOSE 25 POUNDS,

376
00:21:53,310 --> 00:21:57,827
THEN WE'LL DO SKIN SURGERY
ON YOUR UPPER ARMS AND CHEST.

377
00:21:57,827 --> 00:22:01,586
OKAY? BUT THERE IS NO WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE SKIN SURGERY

378
00:22:01,586 --> 00:22:03,068
AS LONG AS YOU SMOKE.

379
00:22:03,068 --> 00:22:04,655
OKAY.
OKAY?

380
00:22:04,655 --> 00:22:08,482
I PROMISED MY GRANDSON
THAT I WAS GOING TO QUIT,

381
00:22:08,482 --> 00:22:10,689
SO I TOLD HER
SHE CAN QUIT WITH ME.

382
00:22:10,689 --> 00:22:13,034
YOU HAVEN'T QUIT, TOO?THAT WAY WE CAN BOTH DO IT.

383
00:22:13,034 --> 00:22:16,206
I HAVEN'T QUIT.SHE NEVER QUIT.

384
00:22:16,206 --> 00:22:19,965
SUSAN'S OTHER BIG STRUGGLE
IS HER MOTHER.

385
00:22:19,965 --> 00:22:23,689
SHE HAS BEEN AN ENABLER
FOR YEARS OF HER LIFE,

386
00:22:23,689 --> 00:22:27,241
AND NOW SHE'S HELPING
SUSAN SABOTAGE HERSELF,

387
00:22:27,241 --> 00:22:32,000
AND THERE IS A DYNAMIC THERE
THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS AS WELL.

388
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,827

SOME WORK TO DO.

389

GOES FOR MOM, TOO.

1167
01:02:59,413 --> 01:03:01,000
I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT CALORIES.

1168
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,931
I KNOW IT HAS, LIKE,
12 GRAMS OF PROTEIN.

1169
01:03:03,931 --> 01:03:06,689
SO YOU'RE CLEARLY OVEREATING
BECAUSE THE SCALE

1170
01:03:06,689 --> 01:03:08,103
IS TELLING YOU THAT,

1171
01:03:08,103 --> 01:03:10,034
SO YOU NEED TO LOOK
AT THE CALORIE CONTENT

1172
01:03:10,034 --> 01:03:11,965
THAT YOU TAKE IN A DAY,

1173
01:03:11,965 --> 01:03:13,655
AND YOU NEED TO
REDUCE THAT.

1174
01:03:13,655 --> 01:03:17,862
IF YOU MAKE ADJUSTMENT, YOU CAN
EASILY LOSE 20 POUND A MONTH.

1175
01:03:17,862 --> 01:03:21,068
SO WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH YOUR BACK?

1176
01:03:21,068 --> 01:03:24,068
WELL, I FOUND OUT
RIGHT BEFORE I KNEW

1177
01:03:24,068 --> 01:03:27,931
I WAS PREGNANT
THAT I HAD A BONE MASS.

1178
01:03:27,931 --> 01:03:34,517
THEN, WHEN I HAD HIM, THEY FOUND
CANCER ON PART OF THE MASS.

1179
01:03:34,517 --> 01:03:39,172
OKAY. I DON'T KNOW IF
THAT'S REALITY OR NOT,

1180
01:03:39,172 --> 01:03:43,689
BUT WHAT YOUR MRI HAS SHOWED
THAT YOU GOT WHAT WE CALL

1181
01:03:43,689 --> 01:03:46,896
A HETEROTOPIC BONE
FORMATION AND CARTILAGE.

1182
01:03:46,896 --> 01:03:49,931
THAT IS OLD.
THAT IS NOT NEW INFORMATION.

1183
01:03:49,931 --> 01:03:53,103
YES. I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS,
BUT MY POINT IS,

1184
01:03:53,103 --> 01:03:55,862
THIS IS A CONGENITAL
CONDITION.

1185
01:03:55,862 --> 01:03:58,620
IT'S BEEN THERE
SINCE BIRTH.

1186
01:03:58,620 --> 01:04:02,034
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
HAS DEVELOPED SUDDENLY,

1187
01:04:02,034 --> 01:04:06,379
AND IT'S NOT ANYTHING
THAT I WOULD CONSIDER CANCER.

1188
01:04:06,379 --> 01:04:09,310
THE ONLY TEST THAT WILL
DETERMINE BONE CANCER

1189
01:04:09,310 --> 01:04:11,344
IS DOING A BIOPSY.

1190
01:04:11,344 --> 01:04:16,068
THERE'S NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE
IT WITHOUT DOING THAT.

1191
01:04:16,068 --> 01:04:17,827
IT IS CANCER.

1192
01:04:17,827 --> 01:04:19,068
OKAY.

1193
01:04:19,068 --> 01:04:22,689
IS A BIOPSY WAS SHOWING
THAT IT'S CANCER?

1194
01:04:22,689 --> 01:04:24,482
IS A BIOPSY SHOWING
IT WAS CANCER?

1195
01:04:24,482 --> 01:04:28,517
I'M JUST --
I'M DONE TALKING.

1196

I'M SHUTTING UP BEFORE
I LOSE MY TEMPER.

1197
01:04:33,275 --> 01:04:35,965
OKAY. I DON'T CARE WHAT
ANYBODY TOLD YOU.

1198
01:04:35,965 --> 01:04:38,103
CANCER IS NOT A CANCER
UNLESS YOU SEE IT

1199
01:04:38,103 --> 01:04:41,862
UNDER MICROSCOPE, OKAY?

1200
01:04:41,862 --> 01:04:44,862
AND SHE HAD THAT LESION
THERE A LONG TIME,

1201
01:04:44,862 --> 01:04:47,000

1202

THEY WOULD BE TREATING
HER IMMEDIATELY,

1203
01:04:50,517 --> 01:04:54,482
BUT THE REASON THEY ARE EVEN
RUNNING CANCER TESTS ON YOU

1204
01:04:54,482 --> 01:04:57,068
IS THAT YOU WENT
TO A CANCER DOCTOR

1205

AND YOU TOLD THEM
THAT YOU WANTED THAT.

1206

I CALLED YOUR DOCTOR THERE,
AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME

THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU

I WANT SKIN SURGERY,

THAT I'M LETTING DR. NOW DOWN,

1340

AND I'M JUST DISAPPOINTED
IN MYSELF

WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION

I WAS REALLY UPSET AFTER MY
LAST APPOINTMENT WITH DR. NOW,

1348
01:12:13,827 --> 01:12:16,344
AND I STILL KIND OF AM.

1349

AN OPTION AND WORK WITH
DR. NOW, THEN I HAVE TO.

HI.
I'M DR. PARADISE.

1356

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

1360
01:12:47,172 --> 01:12:50,517
SO TELL ME WHERE YOU'RE AT
WITH YOUR WEIGHT LOSS.

1361
01:12:50,517 --> 01:12:51,793
HOW ARE YOU DOING?

1362
01:12:51,793 --> 01:12:55,241
I'VE LOST A LITTLE BIT
MORE THAN 250 POUNDS,

1363
01:12:55,241 --> 01:12:59,275
BUT RIGHT NOW I'M
KIND OF JUST AT A STALL.

1364
01:12:59,275 --> 01:13:02,137
LIKE, I HAVEN'T BEEN LOSING,
AND I HAVEN'T BEEN GAINING.

1365
01:13:02,137 --> 01:13:03,862
I'VE KIND OF BEEN
STUCK BETWEEN.

1366
01:13:03,862 --> 01:13:05,724
SO YOU'RE AT A PLATEAU.YEAH.

1367
01:13:05,724 --> 01:13:09,448
BUT I ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH
MY BACK WHERE I HAVE A GROWTH

1368
01:13:09,448 --> 01:13:11,482
ON IT THAT IS CANCEROUS,

1369
01:13:11,482 --> 01:13:14,379
BUT DR. NOW DOESN'T THINK
IT'S CANCEROUS,

1370
01:13:14,379 --> 01:13:16,586
SO I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO THINK.

1371
01:13:16,586 --> 01:13:18,172
I CANNOT PICK UP MY SON.

1372
01:13:18,172 --> 01:13:21,344
I CANNOT BEND OVER
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

1373
01:13:21,344 --> 01:13:25,241
LIKE, I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO DO TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW.

1374
01:13:25,241 --> 01:13:30,034
SO WHEN I WENT FOR MY VISIT
WITH DR. NOW, WELL,

1375
01:13:30,034 --> 01:13:35,344
HE THINKS THAT I SHOULD STILL
BE LOSING 20 POUNDS A MONTH

1376
01:13:35,344 --> 01:13:38,689
AND THAT EXERCISE
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

1377
01:13:38,689 --> 01:13:40,413
WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS
TO YOUR EATING THE WAY

1378
01:13:40,413 --> 01:13:42,137
DR. NOW WOULD
HAVE YOU EAT?

1379
01:13:42,137 --> 01:13:45,448
HE THINKS I EAT AT LEAST
3,000 CALORIES OR MORE

1380
01:13:45,448 --> 01:13:48,034
BECAUSE I'M MAINTAINING
A WEIGHT.

1381
01:13:48,034 --> 01:13:50,448
HOW MANY CALORIES
ARE YOU EATING?

1382
01:13:50,448 --> 01:13:54,275
I DON'T NECESSARILY KEEP TRACK
OF MY CALORIES ANYMORE.

1383
01:13:54,275 --> 01:13:58,482
I DO NOT EAT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH
BECAUSE I HAVE A 9-MONTH-OLD.

1384
01:13:58,482 --> 01:14:00,551
IF IT WAS UP TO DR. NOW,

1385
01:14:00,551 --> 01:14:02,206
HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE YOU
EATING BREAKFAST

1386
01:14:02,206 --> 01:14:03,689
AND LUNCH, RIGHT?
LIKE, HE...

1387
01:14:03,689 --> 01:14:06,172
YEAH.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO.

1388
01:14:06,172 --> 01:14:09,827
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO EAT THREE,
LIKE, THREE SMALL MEALS.

1389
01:14:09,827 --> 01:14:11,344
WHAT'S KEEPING YOU
FROM DOING THAT?

1390
01:14:11,344 --> 01:14:13,379
I'VE BEEN REALLY DEPRESSED
BECAUSE

1391
01:14:13,379 --> 01:14:16,068
I DON'T GET TO GO
TO THE GYM ANYMORE.

1392
01:14:16,068 --> 01:14:20,034
I DON'T FEEL LIKE A MOM BECAUSE
I CAN'T PICK UP MY SON.

1393
01:14:20,034 --> 01:14:22,862
I DON'T FEEL LIKE A WIFE
BECAUSE I CAN'T DO --

1394
01:14:22,862 --> 01:14:24,137
SO I'M GOING TO STOP YOU
RIGHT THERE.

1395
01:14:24,137 --> 01:14:26,551
DO YOU NOTICE YOU'RE GOING
DOWN, IN A SENSE,

1396
01:14:26,551 --> 01:14:28,206
AND IT'S SAD?
DO YOU SEE?

1397
01:14:28,206 --> 01:14:30,931
LIKE, THAT'S A FAMILIAR PATH
FOR YOU, ISN'T IT,

1398
01:14:30,931 --> 01:14:32,827
TO TALK ABOUT
THE LIMITATIONS?

1399
01:14:32,827 --> 01:14:34,344
YOU SOUND SO
PESSIMISTIC.

1400
01:14:34,344 --> 01:14:35,551
YEAH.

1401
01:14:35,551 --> 01:14:37,586
I WAS ALWAYS TOLD I WAS
NEVER GOING TO BE

1402
01:14:37,586 --> 01:14:39,103
GOOD ENOUGH AND STUFF.

1403
01:14:39,103 --> 01:14:41,517
SO IT'S FAMILIAR
TO YOU TO FEEL

1404
01:14:41,517 --> 01:14:43,137
LIKE YOU'RE NOT
DOING GOOD ENOUGH

1405
01:14:43,137 --> 01:14:45,931
OR YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE
WHAT SOMEBODY WANTS YOU TO BE?

1408
01:14:50,034 --> 01:14:53,241
YOU'VE LOST 250 POUNDS.

1409
01:14:53,241 --> 01:14:55,241
THAT'S WHY IT BOTHERS
ME SO MUCH.

1410
01:14:55,241 --> 01:14:57,931
LIKE, THIS DOCTOR'S
APPOINTMENT THAT I HAD,

1411
01:14:57,931 --> 01:15:01,103
I THOUGHT MAYBE HIM
SEEING ME IN PERSON

1412
01:15:01,103 --> 01:15:03,275
AND ACTUALLY LOOKING
AT MY BODY

1413
01:15:03,275 --> 01:15:06,206
AND SEEING HOW HARD,
LIKE, I'VE WORKED

1414
01:15:06,206 --> 01:15:09,586
EVEN THROUGH EVERYTHING
THAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH,

1415
01:15:09,586 --> 01:15:13,413
THAT HE WOULD BE LIKE,
"YOU HAVE DONE REALLY WELL."

1416
01:15:13,413 --> 01:15:15,379
YEAH. YEAH.
AND HE DIDN'T.

1417
01:15:15,379 --> 01:15:18,551
SO NOW, LIKE, I DO FEEL
LIKE A FAILURE,

1418
01:15:18,551 --> 01:15:22,379
AND IT MAKES ME WANT
TO JUST NOT EAT EVER.

1419
01:15:22,379 --> 01:15:24,862
YOU CAN RECEIVE
THE FEEDBACK AS,

1420
01:15:24,862 --> 01:15:28,275
"THAT MEANS I'M NOT
GOOD ENOUGH," RIGHT?

1421
01:15:28,275 --> 01:15:32,172
BUT SOME PEOPLE SEE
FEEDBACK AS CONFIDENCE.

1422
01:15:32,172 --> 01:15:36,551
HE MAY BE JUST ASSERTING
THAT HE THINKS YOU CAN DO IT.

1423
01:15:36,551 --> 01:15:37,965
YEAH.
I GUESS SO.

1424
01:15:37,965 --> 01:15:42,413
YEAH, SO I SUSPECT DR. NOW
THINKS YOU CAN DO IT.

1425

WITH REGARDS TO
THE DEPRESSION

1429
01:15:51,068 --> 01:15:54,379
TO MAYBE PAY LESS ATTENTION
TO THE DEPRESSION

1430
01:15:54,379 --> 01:15:56,068
BECAUSE I THINK
IT'S TELLING YOU

1431
01:15:56,068 --> 01:16:00,689
THAT YOU CAN'T DO THINGS
EVEN WHEN YOU CAN.

1432
01:16:00,689 --> 01:16:01,965
YOU DESERVE
A LOT OF CREDIT.

1433
01:16:01,965 --> 01:16:03,310
YOU'VE ALREADY LOST.

1434
01:16:03,310 --> 01:16:05,551

HALFWAY THERE.

1435
01:16:05,551 --> 01:16:08,275
I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOU

I HADN'T BEEN THINKING
ABOUT IT LIKE HE SAID,

1442

THAT HOW I SHOULD SEE IT IS THAT
DR. NOW BELIEVES IN ME,

QUIT IT ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WHEN I GAVE UP FOOD
TO LOSE THE WEIGHT,

1454
01:17:18,172 --> 01:17:21,827
I STARTED SMOKING TO HELP
ME DEAL WITH THINGS,

1455
01:17:21,827 --> 01:17:24,310
AND I DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME

1456
01:17:24,310 --> 01:17:28,172
I WAS JUST TRADING
ONE ADDICTION FOR ANOTHER,

1457
01:17:28,172 --> 01:17:33,172
AND NOW I'M FALLING BACK
INTO BOTH ADDICTIONS,

1458
01:17:33,172 --> 01:17:35,862
AND I KNOW I'VE BEEN
IGNORING THE REAL ISSUES

1459
01:17:35,862 --> 01:17:38,172
AND MAKING EXCUSES

1460
01:17:38,172 --> 01:17:40,551
AND THAT DR. NOW WAS RIGHT
ABOUT EVERYTHING

1461
01:17:40,551 --> 01:17:43,379

THAT HYPNOSIS WILL ONLY WORK
IF YOU'RE COMPLETELY OPEN TO IT.

1477
01:18:28,655 --> 01:18:32,965
IT'S NOT ABOUT A THERAPIST'S
ABILITY TO HYPNOTIZE YOU.

1478

OKAY.

1479
