And here is the transcript to the episode: 

 

The Weighting 

Episode Zero

 

[Theme music up]

 

My name is David Ezell. I'm a cognitive behavioral coach and therapist. Three years ago it dawned on me that I was a fat hypocrite. I was helping other people get what they wanted and not doing anything towards getting what I wanted, being physically fit. Letting my insides match my outsides. I was tipping the scales at 300 pounds and I set a big goal. To lose 101 pounds and keep them off forever. I have come so far. I've lost and kept off 81 pounds. Can I drop the final 20 before Independence Day? We’ll find out together on this podcast, The Weighting. 

 

[Theme up] 

 

I talked to Steve Calechman, a freelance journalist, about what I'm doing and why. 

 

David: I mean I felt in my own life right. I mean I've come to realize that theres a lot of hypocrisy in helping professions that you know, I know an oncologist who smokes like a freight train. I realized myself what a hypocrite I was. Because I was talking to people about exercising, about you know moderation. But I was 300 pounds. So I took the spotlight and put it on myself. now I'm 80 pounds down and in the home stretch for this hundred and one-pound loss you know and so I wanted to be able to do it myself and so that when I talk to people about this, they can look at me and see that. I'm a living representation of being a healthier person, being genuine and being what I want to be. 

 

So you asked me how you do it, you become aware of the problem, of the broken part. For me it was the hypocrisy. I was a hypocrite and then like “okay well what thoughts are causing that?” and it was thoughts about eating and thoughts about my own body, thoughts about my self-esteem, and thoughts about myself as an athlete. That there were whole families of thoughts that I started writing down. Writing is a really curative thing and then I started applying the tools that I use on my own clients for myself. which is you know doing something that in the business we call a "thought record" where you're actually presenting evidence for and then evidence against the thoughts that you have. So that you're not discounting the positive. 

 

Steve: You're sort of making an argument, you kind of debating aren't you? 

 

David: Yeah.

 

Steve: What does it do? What is the process do for a person?

 

David: It helps you come to a new point of view. It’s called cognitive restructuring and it gives you a new answer. So that when you think “I'm a loser,” then you've got another thought that comes right behind that. “What do I feel about myself if I think I'm a loser?”
