What if weight loss wasn’t about food, exercise, or willpower at all, what if the real battle was in your mind?
In this chapter, Michael Dawson takes you behind the scenes of The Morbidity Project, a 12-week NHS experiment that threw every professional resource, medical, dietary, fitness, and psychological, at a group of people living with severe, life-threatening obesity.
The mission: to give them the best possible chance of lasting change. But what Michael discovered in that fluorescent-lit tennis club meeting room would challenge everything the weight-loss industry teaches.
The problem wasn’t knowledge - it was belief. It wasn’t calories - it was identity.
You’ll hear:
Why most weight-loss programs are set up to work against your psychology
The tiny mindset shifts that sparked powerful, real-life changes in participants
Why success has to be defined by you not the scales
How the tools that transform addiction, trauma, and high-pressure business can transform weight loss too
This isn’t about fad diets, rigid rules, or punishing yourself thin.
It’s about learning to work with your mind instead of against it, because once you think differently, everything changes.
