This spiritual process has brought internal transformation and made me a better husband, father, and professional. Join us as we explore the power of weight loss and personal growth.Cold plunge thoughts. The water's at 45 degrees, as per my trusty thermometer. A year ago, I snapped a photo that I'll be posting on my Instagram today @JethroJones, showcasing my weight at 263 pounds. Fast forward to this week's weigh-in, and I'm down to 193 pounds – a total loss of 70 pounds. I've previously discussed shedding the first 40 through an MLM starvation cult, but now I want to talk about the sustainable and empowering steps I've taken since then.
I joined a group called Superhuman Fathers, led by Kyle Carnahan. Here's what transpired: I met Kyle at an event in April this year and mentioned my interest in starting a coaching program for men. He bluntly asked why anyone would seek coaching from me when I was overweight. Admittedly, his words stung, especially since I had already lost 40 pounds and felt good about it. However, despite the initial shock, something within me urged me to listen to Kyle – he was speaking the truth and had wisdom to share.
We exchanged numbers, and Kyle later reached out to discuss how he could help me. Although hesitant at first (I knew joining his program would be inevitable), I eventually took the leap and found two vital aspects of our interaction. Firstly, despite Kyle's harshness, I sensed genuine love and support from him – not judgment. His comment about my weight was simply an honest observation.
Secondly, Kyle emphasized that people need to see and believe that you can provide them with their desired results. If they see someone struggling with their own weight trying to coach them towards self-improvement, trust is unlikely to form. Moreover, he highlighted that it's not just about physical appearance; it's about the discipline and personal growth that accompanies such transformation.
In conclusion, my journey with Superhuman Fathers has been both challenging and rewarding. Through Kyle's guidance and tough love, I've managed to not only shed pounds but also grow as an individual, gaining valuable insights into self-discipline and personal development.
The astonishing aspect of this journey is the personal growth and improvement in my business since joining Superhuman Fathers, as well as becoming a better husband and father. The best part? I'm nowhere near finished. This sustainable transformation isn't a fad diet or a yo-yo experience; it's genuinely aligning with who I am meant to be.
The love and support from Kyle, acknowledging that this is a spiritual process, has made this journey incredibly powerful. So, what does this transformation entail? I now eat according to macros, focusing on specific targets for fat, protein, and carbs. Initially, I didn't even know what macros were, but now they are an essential part of my eating habits.
Though I've lost about 30 pounds – slightly less than the MLM starvation cult – the visible changes in my physique are just the beginning. The real magic lies in the unseen, internal transformations that can only be felt and experienced. That's what makes this journey truly remarkable. Let's go!
