Friday I went to the Happiest Place on Earth and saw hundreds of people suffering.
As I strolled through Disneyland, everywhere I turned there was another American suffering from morbid obesity. The park was teaming with men and women that were more than 100 lbs overweight and facing deadly serious health consequences, like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Besides the obvious health risks associated with morbid obesity there are also very serious emotional effects, like low (or no) self-esteem and depression. There was deep sadness etched on the faces of many park visitors as they labored from Fantasy Land to Tomorrow Land. I even saw one young man's checks turn red with embarrassment and frustration as he squeezed himself into one of Space Mountain's Rocket Ships.
In present day America there are numerous factors all working to fatten us up, but there is hope and the opportunity to change.
Let's look at the real reasons why Americans are fatter today than ever before.
a) Food Tastes too Good: Think about the term "Artificial Flavor." It means a flavor that nature can't even produce! Before artificial flavors very few people were obese. You simply wouldn't want to eat enough of anything to get obese. b) Greater Caloric Density of Foods: Processed foods from the Gordita Supreme to the Big Mac are packed with calories! Consider this, one Big Mac has as many calories as 135 strawberries!
c) Natural Instinct: Compounding the fact that today's unnatural foods taste unnaturally good and are unnaturally high in calories is the fact that over eating is a natural human instinct! Through advances in modern agriculture Western civilization has created a regular and well-stocked food supply. There is food available everywhere all the time, most grocery stores are open 24 hours and T-Bell is open 'til 1 am or later for fourthmeal, just in case you have a hankering for something that is melty, spicy, crunchy or grilled (and also unnaturally good tasting and high in calories). Thousands of years ago, before the rise of agriculture humans had to hunt or gather their food and depending on the season had no way of knowing when they would have their next opportunity to eat, thus over-eating became a natural human instinct. d) Sedentary Life Styles: My Father grew up working outdoors on a farm and in his teen years got a job with a cement company. His life required constant activity and physical fitness. Today I can earn a living, connect with friends, make purchases, and search for information without moving a muscle (except for those involved with pointing and clicking). Even worse, I can do all these activities while eating a Gordita Supreme.
e) Genetics: WRONG! Genetics are NOT THE REASON YOU ARE FAT! Or anyone else for that matter! Your genotypes have survived since the dawn of mankind and they are exceptional! Think about it, before we invented causes A, B, C, & D was anybody in your family fat? Were your grandparents fat? Great grandparents? No! No! No! Were any of your ancestors fat even 300 years ago? Probably not... unless they were extremely wealthy members of a land owning aristocracy! You're genetics are wonderful, they make you, you! But it is your responsibility to be your best and to make the most of them, to enjoy your life to the fullest.
If you are overweight or unsatisfied with your health or physical fitness you have the power to change, to Transform. You can re-make your body and your life on your terms. You can look and feel the way you want to! Of course it takes some effort and dedication, but you have everything to gain.

So many Americans are awash in self-loathing, self-doubt and self-pity. The source of the problem is SELF-ESTEEM, our appraisal of our own self-worth. The TSC program can anchor your life and be the catalyst you need to Transform. TSC transformations are more than skin deep, they improve your ability to love yourself and others.
Recently I was introduced to a young women (about 26) at a dinner party. She had heard about TSC and told me that she wanted to "lose weight." I talked with her outside for a half hour and discovered that there was a lot more going on than just a desire to "lose weight."
She had struggled with school and had low self-esteem. She turned to street drugs to make herself feel better, thus developing a serious meth addiction. Then strung-out and feeling like a loser her family helped her to kick meth, but she replaced her drug problem with a drinking problem.
The drinking problem compounded her underlying self-esteem issues because she gained 60 lbs of fat through her excessive alcohol consumption and additional over eating. This of course led to more drinking and over eating as part of a vicious cycle.
I stood in the yard speaking with her, peeling back the layers of the onion and helping her understand the root cause of her problems. It was her self-image that needed fixing, not a meth addiction, drinking problem or weight problem. Her problem was SELF-ESTEEM.
Drugs, drinking and over eating are all temporary-feeling-changers. They help individuals cope with the way things are, instead of helping them CHANGE THE WAY THINGS ARE. Addicts use drugs to feel high, Alcoholics drink to forget their problems, Obese people eat to momentarily revel in the taste of the foods they lust for instead of dealing with the real issues. Everyone is susceptible to the perils of drugs, drinking and over eating, even the rich and famous! Comedians John Belushi, Chris Farley both died tragically at just 33 years old before they could transform their lives.The great thing about making a TSC Transformation is that it CHANGES THE WAY THINGS ARE. Creating a fit and healthy body develops lasting feelings of confidence, empowerment and self-worth that stay with you! A TSC Transformation changes you inside and out. It uses the enthusiasm cycle (the opposite of a viscous cycle) to spur you on to more success and ever greater achievements!
I wrote down my email address for the young women and gave her a hug. Now it's up to her. Everyone can transform and TSC can help you get there. TSC is like a lighthouse, we can guide you to safety in stormy weather or you can crash your ship on the rocks, but the choice is yours, you can steer your vessel is whichever direction you choose.

TSCers, we have a new Saturday workout; The TSC 300 Challenge. It’s a quantitative fitness test that allows you to measure your progress as you improve your health and fitness. The TSC 300 Challenge is a 3-part physical fitness test that was adopted from the same standards that are used to evaluate Army Rangers, Navy Seals and Force Recon Marines.
The test is made up of three basic exercises, pull-ups, push-ups and a three-mile run. Each section of the TSC 300 Challenge is worth a maximum of 100 points. To max the test a TSCer must score 100 points in all three categories. To score 300 you will have to develop balance, coordination, strength and endurance.
The goal of the TSC 300 Challenge is to motivate you to make consistent improvement and to quantify the progress that you make. By pushing yourself to improve your score on The 300 Challenge you will enjoy the simultaneous benefit of making a staggering TRANSFORMATION as you burn fat and build lean muscle.
The Events
Pull-ups: Complete as many “dead-hang” pull-ups as possible. This means fully extending your arms at the bottom of the pull-up and bringing your chin even with the top of the bar to complete one repetition.
Push-ups: Complete as many TSC Push-ups as possible. Keep your body straight and use a full range of motion. Your upper arms should be parallel to the ground at the bottom of your push-up. At the top of your push-up your elbows should be locked or very close to the locked position. You may pause briefly during your set, but you must maintain proper push-up position, this will really test your core-strength as well.
The 3-Mile Run: Run three miles as fast as you can! I recommend setting up a 1.5-mile course and performing 2 laps. Also try to run on grass if possible, this will reduce the impact on your joints.
The Scoring
For Men: Pull-ups: Each rep is worth 5 points and the max score is 20 pull-ups for 100 points. Push-ups: Each rep is worth 2 points and the max score is 50 push-ups for 100 pts. The Run: 18:00 minutes or less scores 100 points. Subtract 1 point from 100 for every ten-second increment above 18 minutes.
For Women: Pull-ups: Each rep is worth 10 points and the max score is 10 pull-ups for 100 points. Push-ups: Each rep is worth 4 points and the max score is 25 push-ups for 100 pts. The Run: 21:00 minutes or less scores 100 points. Subtract 1 point from 100 for every ten-second increment above 21:00 minutes.
The Purpose of The TSC 300 Challenge is to give you a benchmark for you to improve upon every week. You should strive to improve your score 5-10 points or more every week. For more information on The 300 Challenge check out this YouTube video:
SCORING EXAMPLES John does 11 pull-ups, 29 push-ups and runs the 3-mile in 24:04, his score is 176. Bryan does 0 pull-ups, 2 push-ups and runs the 3-mile in 32:50, his score is 15. Jane does 7 pull-ups, 22 push-ups and runs the 3-mile in 23:09, her score is 245.
