From the headquarters of the Guild of Champions, this is the Becoming Thin podcast.

And I'm your host, Chris Terrell.

And welcome to another week, 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 chronic yo-yo dieting. Up down, up down,

up again. Before I finally got sick and tired to being sick and tired and fat, and I made some

permanent, meaningful, and actual changes to my real life lifestyle, habits, routines,

environment, community, and to my systems of belief.

Because it's all six of those things that created the results in my life, and if I wanted to get new results,

I was going to have to go change those same six things.

And now I'm here each week to help people like you get the same results in your life.

You know, the results of losing weight forever, permanently. I know you. You're not one to take a vacation to Thinville. You got there, you looked around, you pulled up Zillow, you looked at the prices of the homes, and you're like, I think I want to move here. I think I want to live in Thinville forever. And that's what I'm here to help you do. Book a one-way trip ticket, not a round-trip ticket with a vacation. I want you to live here all the time. And that's why we change those six things, because I want you to get the weight loss that lasts, the permanent kind of weight loss. I was in a group earlier this week with new members of the guild, and I posed a question of like, hey, would you feel successful if you lost all the weight then gained it back several years later? If so, raise your hand. Not a single hand went up because we all want the same thing, right? You don't want to lose weight temporarily. You want to lose weight permanently. You want it to be gone. You want it to be

out of your life. Just like I did. I did the yo-yo dieting thing. Has a really annoying roller

coaster to be on. And this podcast is here to help you get the results like that in your life.

Now, before we dive into everything today, as you've noticed, if you've been listening, we've been changing up the episode of the format of the episodes. We're doing more segments. I'm going to have a mix of monologues, a mix of questions. I've got a few other segment types I'm working on to do in the future. This is adding a bit of some more hurdles for me with producing everything, but I really want to elevate the show.

I want to keep it new. Want to keep it exciting both for me as the one doing it. I've been doing
