Down 5.6 lbs and 1.2% body fat since yesterday. A lot of that first drop is water. The scale won’t move like this every day, and that’s fine. I’m doing this for 40 days, not one. Day 1 went well. The only rough spot was dinner time. Day 2 is always the hardest for me when I fast. Every time. So I’m not walking into today expecting it to be easy. I know it’s going to be hard, and I’m mentally ready for it. If you’re fasting with me, today is probably your hard day too. When the hunger gets loud, drink some water and go for a walk. The first 5 days of the Kingdom Reset Fast are free in the Classroom. If you start today, comment your starting weight so I can cheer you on. Questions are welcome too. God bless and finish strong.

Today is Day 1 of my Dad Bod to God Bod. I stepped on the scale this morning. 270 lbs. 36% body fat. My goal is to be under 250 by Day 40. If I hit 245, I’ll be thrilled. And I want that body fat number dropping the whole way down. Why start now, right before the holidays? Because the other choice is waiting until January and walking in 10 to 15 lbs heavier. I’d rather lose those 10 to 15 while everyone else is gaining them. It’s going to be hard. Thanksgiving lands right in the middle of this. That’s part of the reason I’m doing it. It keeps me locked in. Here’s the plan: - Days 1–5: Kingdom Reset Fast (water only) - Days 6–10: Eden Fast (seed-bearing plants only) - Day 11 on: The Holy Diet Day 40 lands on December 10. I’ll post updates right here in the feed and on Instagram at @tyler_inloes. I’d love for you to do this with me. The first 5 days of the Kingdom Reset Fast are free in the Classroom. Start today, and drop a comment with your starting weight or any question you’ve got. God bless and finish strong.

For years I thought the fix was simple — lose the weight, and the way I felt about myself would follow. So I chased the number on the scale like it was going to hand me my worth when I got there. Here's what nobody told me: Genesis 1:27 already settled my worth before I ever stepped on a scale. "So God created man in his own image." Not "will create," once he earns it. Already. The image was stamped on me before I had a job, before I had a body I was proud of, before I had anything to show for myself. I was grading myself with a rubric God never wrote. My job performance, my reflection, my discipline that week — none of that was ever the actual scorecard. It just felt like it, because it's the only one I could see. So here's the question for today: Where have you let your worth get tied to a performance review — at work, in the mirror, or somewhere else — instead of the truth that it was already settled before you clocked in anywhere? Drop it below. Doesn't have to be pretty.

If I'm honest, my problem was never really believing God was disappointed in me. Deep down I knew He wasn't. My problem was I was so disappointed in myself that it didn't matter what He said — I couldn't receive it. That's a sneakier trap. It doesn't look like doubting God. It looks like self-hatred wearing the mask of humility. And it kept me out of the mirror, off the beach with my own kids, and further from God than any actual sin ever did. Psalm 139:14 doesn't say "I will be fearfully and wonderfully made once I fix this." It says **already**. Past tense. Before you did anything about it. So here's the real question not "do you believe God loves you," but: **Where has your own disappointment in yourself become the thing standing between you and God — even when you know, technically, He's not mad at you?** Drop it below. Doesn't have to be pretty.
