13. / I hear you saying that you’re really not worried about your pot use. It's legal. You have a medical marijuana card. It’s not a big deal to you. I think you’ve convinced yourself that because you’re using it legally, that it can’t be a problem.
14. / Have you considered going to AA? That might be an option.
15. / You’ve done a great job but you really need to think about how you can find time to exercise more. Without at least 30 minutes a day, you’re not going to see the results in your weight.
