ADVERTISING

• We only advertise what we believe in
  • We could be much richer if we advertised everything, but we won't
• This is an expensive show to run, but we keep it real

INDIA

• Christopher Columbus started calling First Nations (Native Americans) Indians because he thought he had arrived in India in the 1400s 
  • Serena didn't believe Vinnie when he told her this because Vinnie is good at coming up with stories quickly
• Also, while Vinnie was in India, he told a fake story about barely making it out of Vietnam 
  • Jimi Hendrix was actually a paratrooper

JESS PERRECA

• Has been overweight since the age of 6 -- he is now 36
• He has been on several times, has been supporting Vinnie and the show forever!  
  • He was doing weight watchers when he joined
  • He is a favorite around here 
    • Check out his old podcasts 
• Right now, Jess is about the heaviest he's ever been
  • Well over 500 lbs
• He has tried everything to lose weight but is derailed 
  • He wants to make life the reason he SHOULD lose weight, but instead uses life as an excuse to eat what he wants 
  • The greatest he ever felt, however, was when he started NSNG
    • lost 75lbs in one month
      • went about 6 mos and lost a bunch of weight 
        • He didn't know how to handle keeping the weight off/handling his success 
  • Once work got more stressful, he didn't keep up packing his meals, etc.
    • Instead he ordered food, went to restaurants, etc.
      • Once he got laid off, it made it even harder to get back on track 

GETTING DERAILED FROM NSNG

• It is easy to get derailed when you are dealing with life
• Can be grief, can be a few holiday meals, can be lots of work that gets you off of NSNG and makes it hard to get back on 
• If you do go off course, just get back on the next meal you're able to! 
• It is hard to approach the emotional side of it
  • NSNG can make you feel better, too
  • It's okay to go off for awhile to deal with your feelings, but eventually your body will want to go back to NSNG
    • Try to get back on as soon as possible -- once you dive back in, you CAN succeed!
