I'm currently at 440 pounds. I was just diagnosed with severe sleep apnea,
which I stopped breathing like 64 times an hour, which is insane.
I got my little machine now, so I'm getting that right, trying to get my eating
right with the keto and the whole good thing.
But I've had these peaks and valleys of how I've gone up and down with my
weight, struggling with food.
So I guess, you know, it might be a good person to ask, how do I keep my
emotions in track?
Do I continue to make good decisions? And how can I actually make this work so
I make a lifestyle change forever?
You can't let your emotions dictate what you're going to do.
Well, it's kind of the conversation we just had, because, I mean, if you think
about it, motivation is really just an emotion.
It's just an emotion. You feel really good and motivated. You can't let your
emotions dictate your actions.
You've got to let your logic dictate your actions. And hey, it's not going to
feel good every day.
I just, this morning, I didn't feel like working out. I was sore. I've been
working out hard for the last few days.
I did not feel like working out at all. And I went down there and I went
through the motions.
And you know what? You know, people say, you're just going through the motions.
I was like, yes, I was.
But that's better than not going through the motions, because I got down there.
I did the work. It wasn't the best workout I ever had.
No records were broken. Nothing was crazy. But I went down there and did what I
was supposed to do.
There was no motivation involved whatsoever. Zero. I was unmotivated. I was
motivated to just snuggle into bed.
But no, you've got to get up. So don't let your emotions dictate it. And peaks
and valleys, guess what?
That's what life is. Life, you're going to have times when you feel good. You're
going to have times when you feel bad.
And you can't let those things be so broad span. So you can't let those peaks
be so high and those valleys be so low that it throws you off course.
When I feel down, it's like, okay, you know what? That's going to pass. And the
way you make it pass is through action.
It's what you just said. You said, you know, when I get going, that's when I'm
good. That's the same thing to Jason.
Hey, Jason, if you're not feeling like it, you know what? Do what Theo does.
Just stop that. Stop thinking about it.
And just go and go for the walk. Get on the treadmill. Whatever exercise you're
going to start doing, start doing it.
And the other thing is, look, man, this is a long war. This isn't a battle that
you're going to fight one day, two days.
You're in a campaign. In a campaign, World War II, four years of combat to get
where you want to go.
Maybe seven years, maybe eight. I don't know. But part of, you don't have to
think, hey, if only I could be at the end.
Man, enjoy where you're at right now. I know it sounds crazy, but you said,
dang, Trapton.
Man, you're lucky. You're lucky. You know, I got friends that have been so
severely wounded.
You know, they can't go for a run. They lost their legs. They lost their arms.
They lost their vision.
Whatever. Hey, man, you're good to go. You're good to go. Go out.
And like you said, live.
Yeah, I think, I mean, that's, yeah, I mean, that's it. It's like you got to
keep, you have to get moving.
