first we have shawn anders , 40 years old, from ponca city, oklahoma. at 13, he weighed 300 pounds. and at 19 he weighed 500 pounds. he clearly had a very dysfunctional relationship with food ahich hit him physically and emotionally. at the same time he's an uber tal en, super funny and super smart. he submitted a voice tape to a tradioestation when he was a young adult to get a spot. sight unseen they actually hired him. he got in the car, he relocated his family. when he got there in his 500 pound body, they rescinded the offer. he was devastated. but i have to say at the same time this was cis motivation to change his ways. some he gave himself a calorie budget. he just put in whateewor he wanted and the weight literally fell off. he lost 275 pounds. he then hit a roadblock. i think lot of people can relate to this. he actually gained back about 100. he was on a mission to knock it back off. this time he looked at the emotional component. he has a couple of tricks up his sleeve he's going to share when he comes out. >> showing shawn's before picture. all right, come join the joy
