A Gym Membership Changes No One: It's Only by Stress, Adversity, and Challenge Where We Change for Good · Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: I remember going to the gym.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: I now am able to do workouts without needing a gym.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: But still, when I go back, I find that there are people from back in the day that haven't changed too much, but they've been going consistently.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: And I often to myself wonder what was the reason they're not changing.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe they don't want to change.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe they're very happy with they are and they're doing something called maintenance.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: I've never been a maintenance person.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm always trying to better myself in some way, shape, or form, getting stronger, getting leaner, whatever it may be.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm always kind of focused on that, but that's, I guess, my personality type, and other people really aren't.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: It was just like the people that I used to be around at one point that were very happy being fat and obese, having all these medical conditions.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: It was almost as if it fed them in some way, where I wanted to break away from all that medical crap, quit taking the medications, and get to a lean point where I could buy clothes at a normal store and actually bend over and tie my shoes.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know where those personality types are, but I will tell you, for change to happen, it has to be uncomfortable.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: And that goes with dropping weight, dropping fat.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: If you are obese, it isn't easy.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: There isn't some magic pill.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: And while some might promise a magic injection, be careful with that because there's other detrimental things that can be caused by that.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Not to compare it with smoking, but back in the day, if you look at the research, smoking was actually prescribed to people that were having lung difficulty because they said it made the lungs stronger.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Well, lo and behold, it was just bad for you all the way around.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: There was no benefit.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: At one time with alcohol, they said alcohol in certain amounts was good for you.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, again, lo and behold, they did their studies.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Again, finding out that not even a drop causes anything good.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's all bad all the way down the road.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: The same thing with certain types of food.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: It seems like us here in America and the other countries that have obesity really rearing its ugly head in over half of the population's out there.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: And as far as overweight, that's pushing 70%.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: In those numbers, we see that the food has become so great, so tasty, so incredibly scrumptious, we just want to eat it without putting it down.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: It shuts off a lot of the mechanisms our bodies naturally have to say, hey, Connor, you're full.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, Connor, quit eating.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, Connor, you've had enough.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: You can put the fork down.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: And Connor just continues till he got to 365 pounds, having been fat all his life, not really realizing that the celebration of food was completely overrated.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: There are other things besides sitting down with friends and having a meal.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: You can go for a walk with friends.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: You can play games with friends.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: You can do a lot of other things besides focusing on food.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: Try it, you might be surprised.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm seeing the next one.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Connor with Honor.
