August 28, 2019 11:00 - 31 minutes - 43.5 MB“When people try to argue with us about our program rules, skirt the rules, cheat, do the workaround and look for shortcuts, that just means they're not ready to lose weight.

August 14, 2019 11:00 - 25 minutes - 34.7 MBNewsflash: nobody cares as much as you think.

20: Be The First To Go

Why they are always hesitant to be the first to do anything, like enter a food line, sing the first karaoke song, introduce themselves to a room or arrive at a party.

July 24, 2019 11:00 - 21 minutes - 29.2 MBIn this episode, we’re going to talk about one of the realities of life -- “pick your hard because it’s freaking hard.” The thing about this is, you don’t get to realize that you always have a decision to make that is hard. Either of the options will always be hard if you come to think of it. The reality, no matter what decision you make, there is an element of "HARD" that comes with it. It's hard being fat, being skinny, being short, being tall... It's all freaking hard. So you will...

June 04, 2019 11:00 - 20 minutes - 28.7 MBIn this episode, I will talk about predators and scavengers, predators and prey, within the human world. As humans beings, we are typically supposed to act like predators especially with our eating habits, but that’s not the case at all.

We lost our predatory ...

Most people who have weight problems do not like looking at themselves in the mirror or they only look at themselves from the neck up just to make sure they look okay. They always hate what they see and have so much self-loathing, shame and guilt, so they avoid mirrors and even pictures. When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you like what you see? If not, then you need to do someth...

March 23, 2019 01:27 - 24 minutes - 33.1 MBIn this episode, I am going to explain how have been brainwashed to believe that you need to exercise in order to lose weight.
