OK, so to be honest, I'm writing these show notes while on the road after an amazing Hoosier ABA conference (more on that in a subsequent episode or two ;-). As such, I'll be uncharacteristically brief. To risk hyperbole, I think that just about anyone can benefit from listening to this episode. My guest, Dr. Jim Moore, talks about his ups and downs (followed by more ups and downs... and ups) with weight loss. What I like about Jim is that he shares these deeply personal struggles in order to, in my estimation, help others who have similar problems. Jim has gone from being overweight, to super fit, to morbidly obese... to now, where he is on a trend of fairly sustainable success. He acknowledge he still has room to improve, but check these pictures out, and you'll get an idea of how much progress he's gained: And because I'm on the road, I unfortunately do not have my notes from our interview. That said, I do recall discussing an article titled, The Shame of American Education, by B.F. Skinner himself. If there are other references I missed, visit the Contact page and let me know what it was, and I'll update these show notes. This episode is sponsored by the following: The Precision ABA Workshop, by Dr. Rick Kubina of Chartlytics. This will be held on November 15th and 16th in Indianapolis, Indiana.

0:00.0 | Hey everyone, it's Matt. |
0:01.3 | Welcome to Session 64, the Behavioral Observations podcast. |
0:04.7 | Boy, do I have a great episode in store for you. |
0:06.8 | And I know I say that every single time, but I feel that it's true every single time, |
0:12.3 | or at least I, you know, there's a sense of excitement that I get from pressing the |
0:18.3 | record button and getting closer to publishing an episode, which, you know, shares these great stories with you guys. |
0:25.2 | And boy, do we have a great guest today who shares a lot of just life-long lessons in the area of health and fitness. |
0:33.9 | Dr. Jim Moore joins us today. Now he is not a health and fitness guru per se. |
0:39.4 | So keep in mind that he is sharing his own personal health journey, if you will. So this is a guy |
0:46.5 | who's, let's see, at the time which we record this episode a few weeks ago, has lost over 110 pounds |
0:52.5 | and has spent, you know, some parts of his life being morbidly |
0:58.0 | obese. One of the things that really struck me about this conversation was just how open and |
1:03.5 | transparent Jim was about his journey. He shared things that I think it would be challenging |
1:09.5 | for most of us to share. |
1:16.4 | But, you know, I got the sense that he did it out of almost a duty to kind of share the lessons he's learned while he's, you know, kind of made these amazing accomplishments. |
1:24.3 | So I hope that comes through in the interview. |
1:26.8 | I think it does. and I think you're |
1:28.2 | really going to like Jim. I can go on about who Jim is and what his background is, but he does |
1:33.4 | a fine job of explaining that during the show. So I will just kind of let you guys listen to him |
1:39.8 | tell his own story. But he's a neat guy, and I think you're going to like what he has to say. |
1:44.0 | We do have some before and after pictures that he was gracious enough to share. So if you want to check |
1:47.5 | those out, go to behavioral observations.com forward slash session 64 or just search for Jim Moore. |
