Fat Guy Forum Episode 163 - Shawn Went To War With Himself! Mar 20, 2022

Show notes

Shawn Lewis' body was starting to breakdown when he reached his heaviest weight of 538 pounds... at only age 25. He knew he needed to fight back and take extreme measures to save his life, for him this meant weight loss surgery in 2020 and now less than two years later he is down over 300 pounds. A lot has changed and Shawn has learned a lot on his journey. I think his story will be a great resource for anyone considering surgery and anyone who is struggling with extreme weight loss.

Fat Guy Forum Episode 162 - The Power of Levi! Mar 13, 2022

Show notes

In this week's episode Levi Garrett opens up about the impact of childhood trauma on the adult he eventually grew into. Food had long been his escape, and in college he even started a group he called the Power of Plump because he had resigned himself to the life he was living. It wasn't until he realized that it was ok to not be ok, it was ok to struggle, it was okay to need to fight for himself that he started on a path of healing his body and his spirit. Levi discovered the power within himself that he hadn't believed in before. Now down over 230 pounds and pursuing his dreams, he is a force to be reckoned with. I am excited to bring his story to you!

Fat Guy Forum Episode 161 - Murphy’s Law! Mar 06, 2022

Show notes

QUICK NOTE: The sound on this episode is less than ideal. I have done my best to clean it up and hope you will stay tuned for this week's guest's inspiring story!

Chris Murphy knew at a young age that his relationship with food was not ideal but he used athletics and activity to keep things in check. In adulthood he truly began his personal rollercoaster ride losing and gaining weight dealing with a true laundry list of challenges and life traumas. It took desperation to bring him to the tool that would change his life these past two years, bariatric surgery. But unlike the clean pretty stories we may see on line, the reality of his experience is one that is much less streamlined or as simple as many expect. True dedication to himself and his family has carried him through this adventure, and he is almost literally half the man he used to be! I am excited for you to meet him today!
