Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

When you look back, what do you think the thing is that drew you to eating as a bad habit.

I've tried to do like self-psychoanalysis on this

and I get to a point where I'm five years old,

I go to visit my grandparents in Vermont and their reaction to me.

And if I look at a picture of myself

as at five years old today, I see just like a normal healthy kid with maybe some chubby cheeks,

right? Their reaction to me was like, oh my God, what are your parents doing to you? You have

gone to crap.

And my favorite food was lasagna, which my grandpa would always make me.

Yeah, and he had it cooking.

As I arrived, I could smell it.

And I'm there visiting them for the first time without my mom or dad in Vermont.

Like, super excited.

Their reaction is this. And then they basically were like,

we're not, you can't have a second helping of lasagna.

So in that day was the first time that I snuck food,

and it was clearing the table and eating food off their place.

At the same time, like clearing it and like...

Yeah, the next day they weighed me, first thing in the morning, which I've never been on a scale

before and I'm being weighed.

And then it was like, okay, we're going on a one mile walk that is for your benefit.
