Video Description
Jenny talks about her college years and becoming completely “unaware of food in terms of any relation to reality. I don't remember eating. I do remember loving that there was free food. In other words, it was open, you know, cafeteria style; you could help yourself; you could go back as many times as you wanted.” She does think of obesity and overeating as more of an addiction or certainly a disease in the way that the symptoms manifest themselves. She describes the physical and emotional issues of carrying 100 pounds of excess weight, “It's hard on your knees. It's hard on all your organs. But it also, for me, led to living a life in a lot of fear because you're afraid to go places in case you can't fit into a seat, like on an airplane.”
