    I remember a time when I didn't believe I could lose weight. I would start a diet and quit soon after. I just didn't believe in my self. Eventually I got tired of failing and I push through. I loss 70 pounds in 10 months. The crazy thing was I had all the tools and knowledge I needed the whole time to lose the weight. I just needed to believe in my self.

You will feel better after trust me. I lost 185lbs and it sucked but this guy is right...it was all mental. Going from 385 to 208 and under 10% body fat in 9 months is not typical as I intermittent fasted (one meal a day) and went to the gym every single day rain or shine, tired or sore I still went. Just shut up and do it as nobody will do it for you. Make it your personal journey of growth to be your best self. It is with it to be happy and healthy as you only live once.

I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.

      Unfortunate he doesn't note the chemical aspect of being overweight for most of your life, the homostatic aspect of your body wanting to maintain your weight regardless of hardships. Gaining weight is easy for most but losing it is physically and mentally complex. I was amazed because you only hear emotions and lack of discipline or activity as causes but it's way more complex.

    I grew up very poor and very overweight. I lost 60 lbs when I was a teenager to join the military. The military was my only choice to be able to have a chance at life. I was 15/16 and was working as many hours as I legally could... paid for a gym membership and was buying my own groceries. I learned at a very young age that I was meant for bigger things. When you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. I'm proof of that.

      It’s also your environment. I got my own job at 16 while living with my mother and instead of getting to save my money She took a lot of it. When I told her I don’t want to give my money to her that I’m working for to save it all she kicked me out. No home to go, no friend to stay with because they all live with their parents and no car to even get myself to and from work. I was homeless for most of my twenties. Never had a stable home until I was 28. I honestly feel because of that I have always been overweight. I honestly think if I didn’t have a jealous bully as a mother when it came to doing my own thing and helping myself. Id have a house, I’d have my slim body by now and I probably would have wanted kids.

    My sister and I come from a morbidly obese family. A while ago we decided to support one another on a journey to get fit. It took 2 years, but both of us have lost almost 70 lbs each. The problem now is how the family treats us...like we did something wrong by getting healthy. Being in our mid 40’s, we don’t really care but I can see how an unsupportive family unit would be very hard for younger people to deal with.

      Congratulations, I know what you are talking about, I have been through such a situation and honestly am, believe it or not when you start growing your family and friends unconsciously maybe! Try to stop you,seeing you makes them uncomfortable and reminds them of the problems they do not want to confront!! So be aware of them not dragging you down find healthy fit friends and groups and guarantee your future healthy lifestyle and not going back to the problem,every new level needs a new group surrounding us, that’s hard to accept esp. when it comes to family and if we are the last child even more, because elder ones most of the times are jealous of youngers. Face it, remember it and keep your self happy and healthy. We are not supposed to carry other’s issues.good luck

    Self love for me is a constant struggle. My mother severely abused me as a child till she took her life when i was 6 years old of which I witnessed. The woman who was meant to be my queen was my darkness and now the natural and vital quality of self love is elusive to me. I struggle with my demons telling me Im unworthy every minute of everyday. But I fight the hard fight, I believe my soul is worth fighting for and that as far as we know we only have one shot at this thing called life. This man's words made me cry cause I know I fight for the freedom of my soul on a daily basis and most days I tend to win, but some days I drown in darkness - but I know ONE thing for sure......CHANGE is constant, change is inevitable and change is beautiful when its for the better our souls. It feel like a slow change - but I can feel it, its happening (not fast enough) but I am going to get there

      You Are worthy of love and it starts with you loving yourself.
      Shake of those demons and spread those wings.
      Just like with positive affirmations Sometimes it’s starts with looking yourself in the mirror and saying I Love You until it sticks. See that little hurt 6 year old girl inside of you and tell her you love her. Be her saviour and your own queen, Help her out of the pain and darkness.

    As a former Marriage and Family Therapist and now as a personal fitness trainer, I completely agree here. For those with eating issues and struggles sticking with fitness/good nutrition, there is always so much more going on under the surface. Until people are willing to be vulnerable and take a deep dive to look inside, I don't think any diet or exercise plan is going to stick for the long haul. But most won't listen to that, and that is precisely why we have a billion dollar diet industry, because people are looking to fix themselves quickly (which makes sense, they are uncomfortable, in pain and discouraged) instead of turn inside and fix that shit first. Great interview!

      Well said. I am unfortunately one of those people, but I'm working on changing my mindset. My PCP (who I love) isn't afraid to discuss weight. I told him I binge because I hate my job. He said if you eat in response to something it's almost like you are allowing them to hurt you twice. From that moment a few weeks ago, I'm trying to be more conscious to find out what's causing the overeating at that moment

    • @TracySteenMoveDaily
      @TracySteenMoveDaily Před 6 lety +17

      That's exactly what you want to do. Anytime we are reactive (emotionally, binging, etc) it means something is going on, and then it's time to compassionately pay attention.

      musicvixen24 hugs to you. It goes even deeper than your mindset, down behind everything you do (physical) and think (mental) are your emotions that drive it all. Although you are valid in feeling like your job is making you miserable, it is only a reflection of the emotional imprints you received during your childhood. Until you are able to bring awareness to these imprints and allow them to come to the surface, there will always be something 'out there' that makes you miserable and drives you to binge. If you want to learn about how to go about this, look up Michael Brown The Presence Process.

    In my own personal experience, it truly is all a mental game. The beginning of the year, I made a commitment to weigh 120 lbs (at that time I was 150 lbs) I’m 5”2 lol so I’m short and according to my BMI I was over weight and i actually felt fat every time I looked at myself in the mirror. So what shifted my mindset? My mother went to the hospital due to her eating habits, and I went full force into eating healthier and making sure I don’t ever end up in the hospital due to something I can control. I’m now currently 116-120 lbs and maintaining 👌🏽. Hitting the gym ended up being my keystone habit and I applied that same mindset in everything I do. MINDSET IS KEY. IMO.

    I was a binge eater since i was a child. Always hiding and kept it a secret. I learnt to calm my emotions with food so i would hide and eat muffins or any other sweet because my heart was so bitter. That alone made me gain weight so rapidly that i would beat myself up and make me feel even less worthy so it was a horrible cycle. I didnt share it with anybody until i actually realised i had a problem and that was in my mid thirties! So many ppl now tell me how to lose weight or that one muffin wont kill me or that i should eat everything in moderation...they dont know they are talking to an addict. And lets call it the way it is, sugar it is ADDICTIVE. I have done keto for several years and that was the only lifestyle that freed myself from cravings and my relationship with hunger and food changed. Im not always thinking of food like before. Now im into carnivore and eating and enjoying organ meats. This lifestyle as well as weightlifting has been my recipe for success, but when Xmas comes and the minute i put on my moms delicious food into my mouth...the cravings come back like crazy so i agree with Tom, havings treats some times along the year is OK as long as you dont have a history like mine with food addiction or an addicted personality.

    This is EXACTLY right. I myself have battled weight-gain and weight-loss my entire life, and my findings have shown me that the emotional/mental/spiritual component is what is truly lacking in every single weight-loss program on the go. I recall as a teenager, feeling very much alone in my struggle with an eating disorder. I began reading amazing books that helped me love myself deeply, and it helped tremendously. I knew I was on to something much bigger than my "symptom" (overweight) ... I was learning the underlying self-worth issue that had been my story since a very young age (four!). I began to understand my pain, shame, and deep-seated fear that I was never going to be enough. Overeating was a fear reaction to the panic I felt inside. As an Empowerment Coach, my aim is to help as many people as I can with self-worth issues, as this is the leading cause of possibly all addictions. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

    I agree about the self talk. I beat PTSD but still had a battle with anxiety from time to time. So, when I started to feel the fear and anxiety coming up, I would start to repeat the scripture that says, “For He has not given me a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love and a sound mind” out loud, over and over again until I felt better. It worked! I no longer have panic attacks or anxiety moments.

      I understand how hard the situation is. My mother was an emotioneless person when I was a kid. (After I grew up she somehow has changed.) I started to read psychology books when I was 15 to reach her heart. And here are what I've found out: They might have been thought to hide their emotions when they are a kid, for example. Imagine a child has been beaten up when he/she cries. When he/she grows up hiding his/her emotions will be the only way to feel safe. On the other hand if you are not loved in your family when you are a child and ignored consistantly then the only message your subconscious brain gets is "There is no such thing as love. You are on your own and you can not trust anybody". And if you are humiliated many times when you are child just because you cry or you speak about your emotions, the consequence is the same: Hating and hiding your emotions is the best way to be safe. When a person's soul is broken it is easy to become numb because in fact there are too many emotions down there to handle. I just tied to explain. I hope she gets the support she needs to face with her emotions from universe.

"It's just calories in and out, you're just not motivated", and then I would just hate myself and gain more. Just listening to this lets me know I'm not useless and incapable.

    One of the things I think gets overlooked with food addiction is the chemical reactions happening in the body causing the cravings...which is where the addiction resides.
    An overgrowth of yeast is an example of this.
    When there is an overgrowth of yeast in the body, it feeds on sugars....
    The sugars help support the yeast and the problem continues to grow.
    It’s not a question of willpower at that point, it’s a question of whether one can bring themselves to push through the body screaming at them to eat more sugars. It’s incredibly difficult, and requires serious commitment to one’s diet.
    It will make you crazy...it will wreak havoc on your thinking, and decision making, and cause severe mood swings.
    If you’re gluten sensitive or intolerant you will have even more problems.
    I’m glad Mr. Manning did this experiment....for the simple reason that hopefully it will cause more Trainers to really consider what their clients are truly going through.

    It's sometimes difficult to keep in mind we are mortals with a short time to do stuff. I wish I wouldn't waist so much energy with perfectionism. Working on it continuously.

      Nana, Love your authenticity. yeah, it's definitely not easy and we will never meet that perfectionist mirror. Part of it is recognizing what it is or our triggers than getting the tools to replace the unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones. As a nurse and health coach, I truly understand and see what he's saying- the physical activity is such a small part of the equation- the emotions and mindset is everything. It's so amazing when I see my clients make that switch in their mind. It's amazing:)

    I’m so glad I found this! So motivating. I’m down 66 pounds. I don’t do keto. Tried it a few times and was miserable. I am doing intermittent fasting. I work three 12 hour shifts a week. On those days, I do 16:8. On days off I do OMAD. And work out in a fasted state as well. I’m feeling better than I have in years and see this as a lifestyle, not a diet. I also do longer fasts (24-48) about once a month.

      I've had severe health anxiety ever since I went into hospital for High Blood Pressure.I am obese and I started doing 24 to 48 hours fasting weekly depending on my mode. I go to the gym 5 days a week and I have lost 39 lbs(18kg) in about 2 and the half months. People are asking me if I am sick and it is depressing me and making my health anxiety worst with the feeling something is wrong and that's why i am losing much weight at a fast pace even thou i know I am putting in the work. I am still obese and want to lost more weight but the comments I am getting about being sick is discouraging me to continue and making my anxiety worst,when it was getting better.

    Not many motivational speeches or talk shows motivates me enough to change my negative my perspective on life or myself but this video here did that for me. You didn’t just speak on the physical aspects on weight-loss but all other aspects that goes hand in hand with it. Something I’ve been struggling with for a long time is self love and weight-loss and this video hit the nail on the head for me.
    Thank you for this!

    I was listening to this during my workout, and I tried that "I can do hard things" in my head over and over. Every rep. It felt like a second gas tank, and near the end I was really pushing that bar up and nearly went to muscle failure. Somewhere though, I found that extra little bit and the bar climbed upwards for the final time to the rack and I felt so great.
    Then on the way to get my lunch, I looked down the street and saw myself. Me being fat, sad and helpless. I looked at that guy, and I told him "I'm not you anymore. I am me, and I'll drag me out of you. I'll rip and tear." And the proudest moment for the day was finally getting to lunch, and deciding I would only have a small salad and a light stir fry. I'm not hungry! I usually get a lot, but I controlled my hunger frenzy enough to only get that. I am so proud of myself, the whole time I said "I can make difficult choices" and it worked. Being there mentally is paramount and I'm so proud of what I did today! I've finally killed my slump, and I am ready to get back on top of my weight loss game after gaining the weight back a bit.. It's real, yall. It's real.

I see u tom! 💁 Makin it even easier for us to digest your content👍😍....but yes mental strenght is very important for working out. I'm a very petit women and even I have a very hard time working out because I don't want to do it even though I know its important. I have found that when I mentally push myself by doing just "one more set" like ur previous guest ed mylett said it helps buils up that needed mental strength!

    I started crying over and over again after I decided to lose this depression sitting on my muscles. I feel like it's because I have this fear that I'll lose myself. My personality, honor, morals and faith seem like they're vulnerable with this change, but I trust God will keep me in tackt. This is the first time I've committed to taking good care of myself and I think that's a part of it to, I know it's going to happen and in a way, it seems like I'm pre-mourning my old self if that makes sense. On day 11 of keto and getting over the keto flu, but going at it day after day, I just have to keep stepping in the right direction. Thanks y'all!

    Amazing interview. Stumbled on this and was proud to see someone so down to earth sharing about spirituality, emotions and vulnerability. The thing about suffering a thousand times in our head is what I go through a lot, but I am learning to be kind to myself, to respect myself, be voulnerable and live.
    I used to meditate a lot and stopped for many years and recently was diagnosed with depression I am slowly getting back to it and couldn’t have shift gears if I didn’t start working out.

      I understand Leptin (a hormone) is a factor to consider in weight loss.
      What is Leptin & what does it have to do with my weight?
      Many people believe that weight gain and loss is all about calories and willpower.
      However, modern obesity research disagrees. Scientists increasingly say that a
      hormone called LEPTIN is involved. Leptin resistance, in which your body does not
      respond to this hormone, is now believed to be the leading driver of fat gain in humans.
      (Excerpt from healthline.com)
      Here is a 100% Natural Supplement that addresses this. Check it out.
      My disclaimer: This is NOT a magic potion/pill. Weight Loss is a combination of efforts,
      however, I believe this may help.
