The past. It's something we all have and, since we're human, we don't always make the best decisions. We're human beings, and as such, we're prone to mistakes and failures. We do things we're not proud of. We act in ways that sometimes hurt or harm other people, sometimes we even do so intentionally. Or maybe we've been the victim of someone else hurting us and we blame ourselves. But what does this do to us over time? How does carrying around our past failures and mistakes hurt us and what can we do about it? In today's episode I talk about the importance of forgiving ourselves for our past and I discuss a couple of partial exercises you can go through to begin the healing process and forgive yourself for these short comings.

Have you ever thought about how your beliefs affect you in your fitness and weight loss journey. What you believe about yourself, your capabilities, your value? Beliefs can be very powerful motivators and de-motivators. Today we explore the idea behind beliefs, how to identify disempowering ones, and how to tear them down so that you can see them for what they really are. Then we talk about how to replace those limiting beliefs with something far more empowering that will move you to take action towards your goals. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/killingafatguy/support

So today I wanted to talk about this idea that I had after watching a documentary on Stockholm Syndrome this week. It occurred to me that there are many aspects of Stockholm Syndrome and what goes on inside the mind of an obese person, our associations to food, to social situations, our bodies, and so forth. If you like today's show, please message me and let me know what you think about my thoughts on the links and similarities between Stockholm Syndrome and obesity.

Welcome to the Killing A Fat Guy Show. My name is Gary Drumm and I'll be your host on this new venture to explore the key areas that you need to meet your fitness and weight loss goal; your mindset, your nutrition, and your training. Today is my first show. I'm kind of new to the whole podcasting scene, so I'm sure this won't sound as polished as some of the bigger, longer running podcasts out there. But I promise you it will get better. On today's show, I'm going to take a little bit of time and explain what I mean by "killing a fat guy". How that idea came about. Who the "fat guy" is, and why I use the word "kill" when referring to him. I think you'll find the concept interesting. So sit back, relax, and plug in for the next 10 minutes and learn a little about the history of "killing a fat guy" and why I'm doing The Killing A Fat Guy Show. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/killingafatguy/support
