From the headquarters of the Guild of Champions, this is the Becomington podcast.

I am your host, Chris Harold.

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?

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 out of it. 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, chronic yo-yo dieting, up, down,

up, down, up again, before I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired and fat,

and I made some permanent, meaningful, and actual changes. To my real-life lifestyle, habits, or teens, environment, community, and to my systems of belief. Because it's all of those things that created the results in my life, and if I wanted to get permanent results, I had to go all the way to the source, and that to change my life at the core level. And now I'm here each week to help you get the same sorts of results in your life because it is in fact possible to change your life, to become a different person, to do things in a new way, to unlearn something you learned so long ago.

But it is not easy to do. It is challenging to do because it requires something that a lot of humans don't want to do.

And that is the proper and sufficient application of time.

Time is often looked at is the element that we are fighting against.

I need it to happen faster.

But that's not always the best thing.

The reality is some things in life, time is a necessary component.

It's like baking.

Time in the oven is a requirement.

You can't rush things that take 20 minutes because you can turn the heat up,

but if you turn the heat up too much well then it doesn't

work it starts burning the bake and if you do it too long you overcook it so you don't want to do something
