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!

Jason used to believe that weight loss surgery was the easy way out, like many people do. His perspective changed and he has now harnessed the power of that tool and his own mind to lose over 200 pounds. Why did he change his mind and what does he want you to know about choosing surgery? You have to listen to find out!

John Arpino returns to the Fat Guy Forum as we dive into the current state of affairs in the weight loss social media community. We try to unpack the rampant negativity and scare tactics that seem to have taken hold of our feeds. We keep it real with our thoughts and by no means claim to be experts, just two long term veterans of the space who have a few observations we think are important! I hope you will dive into these murky waters with us, and let me know what you think!
