Dr. Glenn:
So how have things been?
Lori:
Things have been good, okay. They’re not as good as they were the last time we spoke, which I kind of think I expected. I had a couple setbacks. I’m not excusing my setbacks but I’m not killing myself about my setbacks. And really all it was, was like I would say two days, two different days of where I decided that the pig came out and I let him come out and I was very aware of it coming out but I let it come out and it was probably an emotional thing. And another day, I would say it happened twice. But other than that, I think we spoke two or three weeks ago, it’s really been working well for me, really well.
Dr. Glenn:

I did notice the difference from how I would have been in the past, because remember I think part of our discussion that we had a couple times ago was I said once the pig got out of the cage, I let it out of the cage until I was going to speak to it again because it was like I’m not going to make any changes until I speak to Dr. Glenn and then I’ll take care of the pig. But that’s not how I felt this time.
Dr. Glenn:
Right because Lori, the goal of the Never Binge Again method is not to create a superior target that you feel guilty if you miss in any way, it’s to restore your sense of agency, to restore your sense of freewill and mastery over what you eat so that the pig can’t tell you that you have no control, that you’re too weak, that you can’t do this. What you’re describing is that rather than feeling you are out of control and the pig was out of its cage and you must have had some curse laid upon you and you were forced to e...
