I heard about that just yesterday! The lady was complaining she had looked for help, and it was like talking to Eliza.

I understand. They see it as a personal trainer/health coach they can afford.

They think they need it because something must be wrong! They try and try but with this app... they will get it right.

But there's NO getting it right. I tried it too. I had giant low-calorie meals of salad, fat-free dressing, and rice cakes. And then I did it again two hours later. And before I went to bed I was faced with trying to go to sleep hungry or eating AGAIN.

The stricter I got, the less I could hang in there.
