From the headquarters of the Guild of Champions, this is the Chris Terrell 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, by the way. Now, if you're new here,

I've lost 125 pounds myself after an entire adulthood of chronic yo-yo dieting. Up, down,

up, down again. Before I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I made some

permanent, meaningful, and actual changes to my lifestyle, habits, routines, 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 new results, I was going to have to change all six of those things as well.

And if you want to get new results in your life, you're going to have to change all six of them too.

And now I'm here each week, helping you get the same results in your life you're going to have to change all six of them too and now I'm here each week helping you get the same results in your life the same results of

becoming thin not just losing weight no you could lose weight and gain it all back that's not

that's not success success is becoming thin that means losing the weight and keeping it off

this is something that's just going to go on and on and on and on.

Something I did not know in the beginning of the journey that I learned somewhere along the way and it really got solidified near the end is when I began to realize that there was no end, that this journey just continues on.

That has always been a part of the problem in the past, a part of the problem in the past is I thought there was a finish line. There's a point when I'm done. And so I could do something miserable because I was never signing up for it forever. I was signing up for the miserable thing until I was done losing weight, and which point I would go back to doing what?

What was I going to go back and do, right?

I wasn't going to keep doing the miserable diet.

No, I was going to go back to some version of what I did before.

I was going to go back to some version of my lifestyle, habits, routines, environment, community, and belief systems.
