And we might even say, loosely,
-
it's as though she's a whole new person.
-
But strictly speaking, we don't think

it is literally a whole new person.
-
It's not as though we say,
-
"Poor Linda died when she entered the spa.
-
Or a week into the spa
-
when she dropped those 50 pounds.
-

-
some imitator came along."
-
We don't say "different person."
-
We say "same person, lost a lot of weight."
