I was actually working in the medical field at the time, full time. I was a part time personal trainer. I was driving to the OR one day at this hospital. I was thinking of ideas like, okay, how can I gain a better understanding? And for whatever reason, the idea of getting fat on purpose, as crazy as that sounds, the thought entered my mind and this light bulb went off. I felt like I was called to do this experiment, and for six months, I was like, I'm going to stop exercising completely. I'm going to eat a standard American diet, and then I'm going to document my journey and gain as much weight as I can in those six months. And then after that, walk the walk and put my money where my mouth is and show people, okay, this is how you lose the weight. And that's how fit to fight. Fit was created.
