    I started a health and weight loss journey 3 weeks ago. Earlier this year I stuck a gun in my mouth and planned on how to pull the trigger without my wife and daughter finding me. I pulled through that and am documenting my journey now. Depression is real. Health and happiness are tied together. Good words.

Im in a new city and low on money because I invested it all into my property . I just became a father a month ago and I don’t want my son growing up like I did.

I lost sixty and now hoping to keep going - haven’t gained any back slow and steady wins!! Be well-

    Hi Brix.
    One thing I have learned is that when we don't heal and when we are unaware of how our past influenced us, we choose partners that are a reflection of what we experienced in our childhood.

    I was a depress kid I was a fun loving joking kid but I was sad inside I live ina rough area rather than dealing with my problems I ate for my comfort that lead me to being 320 but I had to make a change not only for myself but for my loving mother thanks for hearing me out Brix family

  • @joebinspirenetwork8471

    Okay, Brix...This may be a lot. But, I hope you have time to read it. I just watched this video on the date of these comments. Although I have followed your channel for a minute, with no actions taken, I have never commented. I like seeing the stories of drastic transformation and life change. Today I did a search on CZcams for "When you feel stuck" and this is the first video I came to. Wow, what a dynamic 15 minutes of realness. I have been stuck for a very long time. I am approaching 55. I feel like my best days are still ahead. But I was feeling the pull of not having my dream career, not being in the best physical condition, and relationship "not". I recently went up from 195 lbs to 216 while working from home since the pandemic started. I just want to conquer these things to realize my ultimate dreams. Thank you for the tips that will really get me started. I am really isolated these days anyway. But, now I know how to maximize that isolation and work on myself. The first domino will continue to stick with me. I really am excited. I had to write this. So much is lying dormant in me in talent and ability. I am about to get unstuck.

    Like I always say you are an epic inspiration Brix, I am now officially back in the gym and i am pushing, started working out mid lockdown around the 13th April and i was 167.5kg, last week i was 136kg, people like short cuts and I believe in putting in work, I gained alot of weight when I was working out of my city only eating junk but now I am not really working I am WORKING ON MYSELF, I realised that once I am okay with myself then the rest shall follow, I always tell people who ask how I did it and I say I changed my mindset and my body followed suit and i went from a 46 waist to a very lose 42 waist and from 3 and 4 XL to 2XL, the smaller I get the more I realise how they make the ugliest clothes for us fat people but I shall continue my journey, much love from 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼

And part of my childhood trauma was about me being overweight and people around me make me feel unloved because I’m overweight. I’m struggling to lose weight and to find the motivation to keep going. I’m looking forward for that weekend to myself and the journey to self discovery. I hope there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

    Such a great video.
    I have lived through this, all of it.
    And for me, a certain level of isolation was really helpful, however difficult. The person I am alone and the person I became in front of other people were not always the same. Not on purpose, but shame, anxiety, discomfort woukd take over. I also needed to confront myself with honesty.
    I still do it.
    This labor day weekend is being spent alone because I need it, to sort out my feelings on some things.
    Self reflection is a sign of emotional intelligence.

    That's kind of how I started my weight lost journey last year. Im from South Carolina and I took a promotion in Philly. When I got there I didn't have anyone, furniture, or any electronics except for my phone. It cleared my mind and got me focused and lost 60 pounds so far. I still got on my phone of course but I seen something that stated never look at you social media sites first thing in the morning. Some can inspire you but it can also make you wonder why your life isn't as luxurious as others which is fake most of the time. Isolation def helps.
