From the headquarters at the Guild of Champions, this is the becoming then podcast.

And I am your host, Chris Terrell. And welcome to another week of your weight loss quest.

How did this last week go for you, Champion? What new challenges did you encounter?

But more importantly, what failure did you go through?

And what lesson did you get from that failure?

Come on now, don't let a perfectly good failure go by without you getting your lesson.

That's your reward for your troubles after all.

Now if you're new here, I've lost 125 pounds myself. After an entire adulthood of chronic yo-yo dieting,

But I believe it was last week where I talked about the six things, your lifestyle habits, routines, environment community,

and your belief systems, and about a willingness to fail.

These are the most important things.

If you are not changing your lifestyle habits, routines, environment, community, and belief systems

in a deeply noticeable way, when measured over a long period of time, long period of time being at least

six months, probably more like a year or two. If you're not making noticeable changes that

are very noticeable to you and others, you ain't changing enough. If you've spent your entire

adult life, maybe even your entire life, battling weight in your mind, calling yourself fat in

your mind even though you were very much a normal average kid, right? That means the battle of

weight began way back then. And what we think in our mind will become what happens in the world.

I realize this on my weight loss journey. The no action occurs

without a thought having preceded it at some point. There's no such thing as an action that occurs

without a thought. Now the thought doesn't have to happen immediately before the action,
