Negative Self Talk: How Fit Father Bill ...

Fit Father Project
About this episode

Episode 172 of the Fit Father Project Podcast is about stopping negative self-talk and committing yourself to health and fitness.

In this episode, you’ll meet Fit Father Bill, an amazing guy with an incredible story to tell.


Bill is in his 60s, and with a medical history that includes cancer and heart issues, he had every reason to resign himself to a life of lessening health and physical decline.


This is the case with many men, unfortunately, they let life’s obstacles derail them, and they let themselves go, living a life of pain and disappointment.


But that’s not Bill’s story! His is one of deep commitment and triumph — of dropping the excuses, stopping the negative self-talk, getting his mind right, and turning his life around.


Bill has lost over 50 pounds, regained his energy and vitality, and is primed to make his golden years truly golden.


If you need inspiration or motivation, you’ve got to hear Bill’s story!


In this episode, you’ll learn about: 


  • The stops and starts Bill had on his health and fitness journey.
  • Overcoming challenges and setbacks.
  • How to stop negative self-talk and get your mind right.
  • Finding motivation.
  • Making nutrition and exercise work for you.
  • And so much more!
