0:36.2	Hello and welcome back to the Half-size-me show.
1:02.0	I am your host Heather and as always I am so excited to be here with you.
1:06.8	Today we have a great interview with Amy.
1:10.8	In this episode Amy opens up and shares so much very honest and vulnerable information
1:17.8	about how she was in a very abusive relationship and this led to her gaining 160 pounds in

2:20.8	story that resonate with you and maybe if you're in that situation you get help sooner rather
2:26.0	than later.
2:27.5	Now before I get to Amy's interview I want to take a moment and say a huge huge thank
