They no one else needs to give you permission to feel like my single lowest barrier of success of the dead is if she knows that instagram does not determine her worth. I've won everything else. I can get a little bit wrong with me. I want that to be one hundred percent right because that is i feel like so much where girls go into the world and they look for that external validation and it just messes up the wiring from day one and it never comes if it does. It's usually always in the wrong way and ends up going in place that you don't want to go so the other part you're doing very well is you're actually giving her the model of what a man looks like and the other idea that i often talk about is data. The shotgun at the door is the dad that set the bar low. So like your bar is going to be extremely high and while you may not like the first one but the second one she brings home. She'll always come to the logical conclusion like yeah. This guy is not my dad. He's kitten to the curb and you just got to trust her. Because you knew how how you live your life lead like self leadership within yourself. And that she'll look at that model and understand how what does real masculine love like. 'cause you're the i love. She ever had in her life and she's gonna use that to model every other love that she brings into it exactly. And so that's why know our routine.

"Moments to where i think you know my i remember speaking my axe. She was like what you know. What can you know how it was a couple years later. After that she said. Why couldn't i have made you as happy as you are now during our relationship and and really the the the the blunt answer to that was i anybody you could have done anything and it would not have made me happy because i could make myself happy. The relationship with myself was just so bad at that point in damage that that i until i could make myself happy and start identifying with who i was and using those words and pronouns that describe yourself the adjectives to describe yourself as the person you want to be. You know you're you. You can't lean on other people to try to do that and be the band aid oria so that's kind of where i was at no gain in in kind of just damaged myself in the could nobody could could have done anything at that point in my life to get a raise up and i knew i had to do so. And it's difficult to give something that you don't have for yourself in like in relationship and i've when i was looking in that mirror in that Relationship and changing those words there was something that hit me that you can't unconditionally love others until you. Unconditional love yourself but you actually have to love not just the good parts the good the bad and the ugly like you've got to find the love for three combat tours in iraq. You've gotta find the love for eleven years in the army. You've got to find the love for having your relationship with your biological daughters mom and like you have to find the appreciation that really recognize that. This all is who had become an. I had to go through all of that to get there. It's a it's it sounds like we just talked about in five minutes but that's four years of my life. Yeah exactly exactly. It's not overnight. And that's something. I try to describe to people is that transformation doesn't happen over a week timeframe it takes a lot of work. It's it's still to this point. It's every day You know how. Can i better myself. What can i do to help Be a better man and father to my my daughter. So it's it's an everyday thing it's never stops and to take that journey one step further this fall. I'm speaking at a keynote for. Stay at home dad khan so a bunch of big convention. Two hundred dads that are stay at home dads and then you can imagine already like rewire from purpose driven from work. The purpose driven as provider in your home like it takes a lot of rewiring and there's a lot of dads they can get lost in that same journey and there was aren't even veterans but like so many more men need that message of starting in the mirror leg. It's not just the veteran thing just kind of gets magnified because we got a lot more stuff to get through. Sometimes we can hit bottom faster because we're holding onto a lot more in the dam breaks allow quicker but man it's a it's it's such a big journey when you look in the mirror and be like what words you see because that's what that's the problem not anything else. Yep you're exactly right you so you do a lot of good things with running and that is something you use almost as like a former physical therapy on yourself.

"jason wood" Discussed on The Road to Rediscovery: A Life-Learning Journey for Growth
"I would walk into a room. And i was the fat kid in the bullies at school made that very well known so i just kinda i think the seed was planted at that point just right there in the husky section of the clothing store letting me know that something was up in that when i started to become very self conscious about what i ate in how i looked. Gotcha man i see an you know. Kids can be cruel as we all know and learn in you know with our peer pressure and you know even if we have little ones and see what they go through through their formative years was that is it also fair to say that that was maybe an introduction in a negative way to labels the meaning of of of labels. I mean like you said you walked in the room. You're the fat kid right. Yeah that point. That's when i realized that on your determined based upon the way you look or the way that you behave and people lose sight of who you really are you're just signed a label and that's who you are. You have no personality at that point. You're nothing more than that label and for me. That was very difficult to understand it. Such a young age and it kind of coincided to with being a man and growing up with losing my dad it eleven years old. I didn't feel like. I had the label of being a man. So i felt like i was always trying to prove my masculinity and inc that just really also fueled the eating disorder in the the self doubts in the insecurities that i developed at a young age. Yes yes i gotcha. Wow okay so From what. I understand you've entered weight watchers like in your mid teens. Early teens late teens. Yeah yeah so. I was sixteen. It was right after. I started to learn how to drive. I was on the way to weight watchers. Gotcha now i think you may have mentioned. On on your blog you know having the overachiever mentality and and and having a mindset of really just you know adhering by rules Whatever the guidelines are following not just following the guidelines but shattering the guidelines. In being really vigilant about you know your routine in whatever endeavor you explorer right so So you did achieve some success We initially right through weight watchers. Yeah i did. I like i just had to push myself. One hundred percent was never enough and had to be one hundred and ten percent I remember just right away. A rate watchers when i was in those meetings and i we'd here just yet praised in the claps and it it was just such such a feeling that i wanted so i sat there on like i wanna lose this weight and i wanna lose asked so i think people maybe it will get me value. Maybe it will give me meaning and give me something to feel good about myself and it was successful. I lost a lot of weight and The problem was i hid it I acted like i was following plan but the whole time mistaking into the extremes with lots out point it was all about eating a certain number of points every day. Well i figured out that. If i shaved off a couple points here and there the pounds would melt away faster Hit behind the excuse..
