**WhysAdvice™ with FatDag**

I was miserable. I was 263.5 lbs and was facing disciplinary action for multiple fitness assessment failures from the Air Force. I needed to lose weight and wanted to lose weight, but failed the many times that I tried.

I found the support I needed to crush my goals. I want to walk you through the mindset needed to accomplish your own personal goals.

I want to be your Wingman!

Obesity is a Terrorist Mar 10, 2018

Show notes

When I swore to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic I had no idea that I would one day use that oath to take on the fight against obesity. For more than 20 of my 26 year career - I was one of the statistics that you read about about as it relates to obesity in the military. Yet - I was a Good Airman, well decorated with many accolades that hung from a very snug 46R mess dress. I made the assumption that I was fit (enough) to fight and I had the medals to prove it. In all aspects of my career I wanted to be the best I could be. I've received two national honors because I was driven internally to excel - yet I neglected my health at times with the excuse that I could 'still do my job' and I thought I was doing it well. The truth was, I was just getting by and did so with fitness for a long time. As my age and my weight both continued to climb I found myself on the failing end of a PT test. It was completely embarrassing but it took two more failures for me to realize that I was just one test away from losing it all. I wanted nothing more than to serve, so I had to change my lifestyle. I had been successful with Weight Watchers in the past so I gave it one more shot to see if I could save my career. This time however was different. For once in for all, I wanted to do my absolute best. I was going all in and not looking back. I enlisted the help of some key people in my life who kept me focused on my goals. Through daily communication, I never drifted too far away from the course to fitness. I kept one simple thought at the top of my mind and daily I asked myself, "How bad do you want it?" It's a question I easily knew the answer to, but without a constant reminder of what it was I was working towards I had failed previously. This time, I kept the focus on the prize - An Excellent Score on my Fitness Test. The PT test that haunted me for years, was my nemesis, and I wanted to defeat it. It was the only blemish on an otherwise stellar career. I wanted to be able to excel on this test, no matter what conditions I faced it in. There is no secret weapon when it comes to losing weight - "Burn more Calories than you Consume" it's simple math and on paper works out perfectly. However our society makes it very easy to give in to temptations and suddenly the numbers game alone isn't motivating enough. I had to figure out "WHY" I wanted to be fit. It took me some time - but the articles helped drive that point home for me. I did not want to be represented in those article. Even though they didn't call me out by name, I knew they were writing about me. I shamefully feared that others would read what was being reported and immediately identify ME as the subject. Knowing what I went through to lose 91 pounds and reach an 18% body fat measurement - I'm often reminded that I didn't do anything special. I just wanted this goal more than anything else. I needed to remain focused on my new lifestyle until I no longer recognized the old one. Today - I work hard to reach out to anyone who is struggling the way I used to internally. A few times a year I have the honor to speak to those who need the motivation to win this battle. As someone who has lived this life for too long - yet found a way to turn it around - I want them to know they have a Wingman that will walk this journey with them. Through the course of my transformation of both mind and body I accepted healthy eating and moderate exercise as a new way of life. I started slow in both areas and built on the foundation that I knew to be true. Today - when I put on the Air Force uniform, a complete sense of pride resonates inside of me. It's a feeling that reminds me of the days when I first wore the uniform during basic training. This is what I've been called to do and I almost gave it all away. When I eventually retire, I will know that I did the best I could, in all aspects of my career. I'll know that I retired on my terms and that it's time to pass the torch to the next generation. As the greatest nation in the world our way of life is worth defending. Those who serve well into the future need to be fit - that's what the job requires.

I determine what my goal is! Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Best $114 I ever spent - because I followed the program. This was 2 years ago tomorrow and I feel better today than I ever have!

It got me thinking - my weight loss was pretty consistent. From 3/8 to 9/20 2016 I lost 91 lbs on the scale - some of it was muscle but most of it was fat.

When I reached goal - I was ecstatic. I bought a whole new wardrobe. I started working more towards my strength training and fitness goals. My weight today ranges pretty consistently between 185-195. I auto post it all over the web! http://dag.fyi/WeightEntries

I'm proud of my data! This is a lifestyle I can agree to. It provides me a real plan that balances all aspect of my life.

When I look back at photos of me making goal, I think I look too thin. I like how I look today so I just keep being me! The wardrobe I purchased back then still fits - because I've changed my body composition and I'm not adding in the fat.

In the beginning I was hyper focused on losing weight. I've now come to understand that meant I was losing muscle AND fat. As I rebuild my muscle tone, I have a better understanding of the journey, and if I had it to do over again, I'd opt for less cardio, more protein, more food to ensure that the weight loss was FAT loss.

It's not about the scale - it's ONE datapoint and if you put all your effort into that one data point - you could be doing more harm than good.

I'm mentally strong. I'm all in. It's why my scale range now is what I've chosen - to satisfy ME, not to satisfy a scale or a program.

I'm at Goal. Because I said so!

Change starts with me! Mar 01, 2018

Show notes

This is on its way to being approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) - and I couldn't be more proud!

A non-profit is a corporation that is owned by the public and managed by a board. An amazing group of connectors have stepped up to manage this non-profit on your behalf and things are progressing nicely. Our first face to face meeting is at the end of this month in #Indy

Here is an article that helps explain why this is so important: https://dag.fyi/2CPYXtY

But it goes well beyond military readiness. It's a societal issue. I'm doing my part in the community I know best, using the connections and channels I have access to. If everyone did the same the communities would overlap and the whole world can be changed.

That's my vision, and I will not stop until we've made the change!

Over the next month or so - I have a series of speaking engagements to have a direct impact. I need your help as well. I often ask for cards/letters of encouragement from you, to a soldier, Airman that is lost. Welcome them with open arms and I will personally deliver your card to them.
