*******There is an audio issue at the end of this episode (about 5 mins left). Just turn up your volume, it's there. Sorry about that.

Included in this episode:
1. Let’s be honest about it - if you want to lose weight or change your body composition in a significant way you are going to have to do two things.
2.Believing that you will get different health outcomes from the same input is quiet literally the definition of insanity.
3. YOU AREN’T GOING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
4. The good news is, science says being overly negative about your interaction with health activity produces worse outcomes.
5. How to hack your positivity.
6. Why do we become cynical?

The last bit of the episode when the audio gets cut off: 
Cynicism is an ironic mental trap. If you believe that you must fight your way to losing weight, you are less likely to get there. 

Know that weight loss doesn’t have to be a constant fight. What I have found is that most people are actually fighting themselves, their bad habits, their negative mindset, trauma, ignorance, arrogance, denial. If you first start with the belief that you can, well than you actually just might. Start there and remind yourself of that every day as a gratitude practice and when you’re mad or frustrated with the process, dig deep and say “okay you don’t like it, change it”. And take the necessary action to stimulate change in your life. Don’t fall for the cynic inside you, create the positive cheerleader who will help you achieve your goal.
