Fat Guy Forum Episode 254 - Ernie Got Fit! Mar 10, 2024

Show notes

At 411 pounds, Ernie was told by a doctor to prepare himself for needing disability soon if he didn't do something about his health. A lifelong food addict he wasn't sure if he would be able to make that change but he found motivation in wanting to be a present and healthy father for his children. Stepping into a gym was a big part of the action he needed, and a true mindset shift was the buried treasure he discovered. Applying it to all areas of his life including his relationship with food was key to the success he has today. Listen to our discussion to find out what that shift was, and how it still drives him now!
