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.
@@nancydotimas1399 Will power. Something people clearly lack these days as tech won't do everything for you. You have to get off your ass even if you don't want too. 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. During Covid especially.
@@nancydotimas1399 For me, Nancy, the tools are my ability to learn a better way to total health -- mentally, spiritually and physically. The information is out there free for simply searching for it.
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.
Yeah well he probably had to fight hard to gain and maintain his increase...so its not the same as someone who truly gains and stays overweight. But I appreciate his attempt to understand.
Telling someone to eat less and move more to lose weight is exactly the same as telling someone to spend less and make more money to become rich. Technically it is true but in reality it isn’t that easy.
This particular t.co/iqHBclbolv diet program was such an simple way for me to reduce 10 pounds in the short a couple weeks I`ve been following it. It is best to visit the site to find out more!?
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.
@@KurosakiLuvar01 very sad, so sorry you went through that, it's on you now though. The past is in the past, get counseling, creat the life you want because it's your responsibility ☺️ good luck
*Changed my life. I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box **weightlose.fitness** of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.*
This guy literally got fat and went through the journey to lose weight. That’s dedication to his business. Now he knows what we go through. He’ll be the perfect personal trainer
@@mariyamniyaz it is not exactly the same, but it is a different kind of emotional pain. Imagine having your perfect body then throwing it away for an experiment? He had to look at himself with that body and was probably teased about it by his peers even if they were "just joking." It hurts no matter what. I have felt similar to this after I had my second baby I gained weight and my body changed physically to where I can no longer lose the weight to look like after my first and it just feels like it's not my body anymore.
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
Yep, my family is "overweight" and when I got to a size 8, I thought huh, maybe if I get to a size 6 I'll have a little leeway to give myself some flexibility. And, my family was like, "don't lose too much more weight! Don't you think you've gone far enough? Be careful!" And I was just shaking my head.
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. 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.

When you start off on a fitness journey, most people do not focus or even mention the mental work. That was the biggest surprise to me. I’ve been in “maintenance” for 7 years, but the mental work is a work in progress everyday.
I am so inspired to see these two men have such a deep, honest conversation about self-worth, emotions tied to weight loss and getting healthy, and the importance of learning to be vulnerable and loving yourself.
As a currently overweight and emotional person I have to say that the mental/emotional aspect that Drew brought up is SO important. I feel like it's so much harder to lose weight when I'm sad.
Yea, sadness is actually directly proportional to over weight. Even i have to push myself now to lose all the excess weight i gained over last few years
When I was a kid my uncle used to tell me I was getting fat and that I was gaining weight and I believed him and decided, why not be fat? I didn’t realize what I was doing to myself, I was a child and at that time my parents were going through a divorce and I loved food so I decided that was where I was going to get my “love” then when I got to 2nd grade the bullying started and everything else was downhill after that I haven’t believed in myself since I was 6 years old and I’m 22 now I wish I’d known then that the weight gain he saw was me growing as a little girl, getting boobs and filling out and my mom was no help and neither was my dad since he wasn’t there There is so much for why I don’t believe in myself
@@trippleme1298 I have had the similar thing. Once I started fasting and began to get results, I got serious. I still struggle to find a good feeling about myself. The only thing that works for me is being accountable thrugh the scale and measurements and lots of prayer and affirmations. And I am 3x your age.
@@trippleme1298 My old roommate told me to tap my heart 3 times and say.. I then tap 3 times and say Love and 3 more taps and say Me. It did and felt good, just fine. I told a friend to do the same thing and after she repeated it 3 times her eyes filled with tears. We are taught that self love is conceit or selfishness. It's not. It's beautiful to love yourself. I wish you tons of self love and great health.
"How do you convince someone they're worthy? ... I still don't know " Great to hear this level of honesty from someone in his position. Ultimately, the teacher can only show you the door; you've got to walk through it yourself.
I appreciate how respectful you are of your guests, active listening, giving space to talk. Everything you ask/comment is relative and clarified or drives the convo deeper. A+
Western culture really does teach many of us to make an emotional connection to food as children. As you say celebrations revolve round food & as a child if I was hurt or upset I was often given a sugary food item to cheer me up and also as rewards for good behavior. Then I wonder why as an adult I always struggle to loose weight because of emotional eating.
Why myself as a person trying to battle my addiction has real issues with family members or well meaning people doing so with my kids. I dont worry if my kids dont eat during a party, they are running around having fun. I don't worry that they wont stop crying without a cookie or juice , because they will feel better with my emotional support than they ever could with an "acceptable pacifier " how our culture sees it any other way is beyond me .
He is so right! I've been skinny and overweight. But I never understood overweight people before becoming one. I used to think they were undisciplined. It's not like that. There is a stress eating factor, hormones change etc. I have a lot more sympathy now than I had before. Don't regret gaining weight. It was good for me. Great experience.
Same thing happened to me. I was once a fit and athletic person. In a matter for 2 years my depression made it hard for me to keep thinking of food just as an energy source. It became an emotion. Now I'm overweight and finding extremely hard mentally and emotionally
@@Heartbreaker1999-o5s I'm the same, my depression the last 2 years meant I put on 4 stone from just emotional eating constantly, finding the motivation to change and stick to it even when your sad is so hard for me right now
@@cdelta801 hope things get better for u soon . There's always hope. It's just a matter of finding it and holding on. I gained 35kg in 2 yrs ) so I get how it feels. Nothing is permant xx and we can always get back to fitness . It's just bout breaking the negative mentality
When they talked about that person at the restaurant eating alone having no fun.. thats me... and i just realized that was me. And i just bursted in tears. My eyes have been opened so much
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
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.
My fitness certification dedicated a huge chapter to client motivation and compliance but it didnt quite cover all the details that operate under surface. It wasnt until I met physical and Mental challenges and learned from them that I realized exercise and fitness is way deeper than is usually presented. I really appreciate this discussion
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
Zinagrillo 1 You are in my prayers 💕💖 God has more for you and you are not your childhood nor your past. I definitely understand. God has brought me a Mighty loong way!! Sooo grateful. JOY IS Your Portion. I encourage you to look up Invicta ministries on RUclips. Ive been learning so much from his ministry and the spiritual thats going on behind what ppl are going through. How healing and standing on God's Word is soo important. Breaking off those generational henderenses. No demon no darkness will stop Gods Destiny for your Life and to Truly Live!! Love you Sister Stay Encouraged!!
Self love is hard to achieve if you don't have it... as life is tough and not fair and every step of the way you life is bombarding you... And people are not making it easy.
Zinagrillo, I am so sorry that you had to suffer like that. You are worth so much more than you know! Love yourself and never listen to the king of darkness. he only wants your suffering, as he is suffering. misery loves company so don't join him. I don't know you, but I love you! You are amazing! You are a beautiful shining star! You will get there!!
zinagrillo1 you don’t have to keep carrying your mothers darkness it’s not your fault that she made a choice in her life to take her life. Just because she couldn’t love you doesn’t mean your not worthy of love. 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.
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 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. I loved to hear this guest perspective and he is so right about experimenting to find out what works for you. Thanks Tom! Big hugs from Shanghai ❤️
@@britreid5893 get them to eat healthy as well. Learn how to make delicious meals you all can eat. Not every snack has to be cheese puffs and toaster strudels. Give them fruits, yogurt, cheese sticks and veggies straws.
Love this inerview. I did a ten day water fast once in Australa, and the CEO gave a great talk in which he spoke about what it was okay to eat. This guy positively glowed with good health. I never saw someone who radiated as much good health as he did before or since. He said: "If you want ice cream, have ice cream. If you want a steak now and then, have steak. It isn't want you eat some of the time that'll kill you but what you eat most of the time."
"Vulnerability is weakness" has been a pervasive societal undertone for so long. Thank you for promoting this empowering paradigm shift to "Vulnerability as Strength" ♥️💪♥️💪♥️
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 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.
"I suffered in life because of how I view myself; I saw myself as a failure because of these - 'weaknesses,' or sins that I had, and because of that I did failure-like things because I saw myself as a failure." SO many people do in society today, and this is why we need to spread the message of positive self-talk.
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!
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.
Soo encouraging thank you… I am 147-149 and 4’11 and I definitely look big. This week I am starting my change of diet for the long run… my body is aching to the changes but I’m going to push through to get go 120-125ish
I experienced the same concept when I started yoga.. You see someone doing a pose and you think I'll never be able to do that. But little by little, by modifications one day you find your body in that pose that you think you'll never been able to get into. That change from impossibility to possibility changes your inner self and you believe you can achive things that seems out of reach.
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. 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for reminding me that I need to practice kindly mastery over this body. For many months now, I have used digestive enzymes to help me with sensitivities and allergies.
Food addiction and sugar cravings are no joke. I was going to give myself a free day on Halloween to enjoy the treats going around work. I went crazy with sugar for 2 days, not only 1. I felt sick, didn’t really enjoy the taste, but I couldn’t stop. I did much better today.
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.
Man oh man Drew gets me, I totally believe there is a direct connection with your emotional being in order to be healthy, it not just about lose weight but go to our core belief system in order to see true transformation in all areas of our lives
“You’re worth to keep fighting for” (Drew) - wow, so very powerful and is one of my key takeaways from this episode! Thank you Tom for inviting Drew. His responses were so very on-point for me and gave me a new perspective for my personal transformation. Thanks again!
I liked his voice, it's so clear and consistent i understood everything he said. As a foreigner not being English my primary language sometimes is very hard to listen to motivation speakers that speak that clear.
The question at 2:31 says this guy is for real. It is different for everyone. No cookie cutter when we hurt beyond what we can repair in our limited knowledge we move to what we think can help. That is what we come across in our journey. I lost weight and gained it back trying to figure out how to not repeat. He figured out the first part. I now realize there is more.
I don’t think they ever will either. Unless they were straight up fat their whole life and then because my a PT after weightloss. I’ve heard of those stories.
I think our ability to accomplish any goal is always in our head. If we can believe we can do it then we can. If we don't believe we can, then it can't be done.
amen!!!!!! ive battled my own mental health for a few years and i just started consistently working out and eating healthy, this is my TIME. it is def a mental thing. god bless everyone fighting for their great health and a great life!!!! IT WILL BE WORTH IT!
Watching Drew speak made me emotional seeing that by him inspiring and helping others his life was touched..nothing I love more when a tough dude gets emotional
Self-worth is someone who is doing the hard things, and is NOT successful, but still has hope. This person still believes that it is possible. It is belief in the possibility that is important. Every time you fail, you try again. Your self-worth is the willingness to try again! These guys just don't get it completely, but I appreciate their desire to understand.
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7 states. The foundation of what he says with the emotional connection with food. Believe in yourself for you can do it.
It's 2:51 AM and just finished watching this. Mind blown. Thank you Tom for this introduction and thank you for what you do. Thank you Drew. I can relate on so many levels, you're speaking to my soul. I'm moving over to your podcasts right now.
I did an episode on my youtube channel about 2 years ago about this Tom! SO GREAT to see somebody else affirm what I said. It was called "you'll never keep the weight off unless you do this" I lost 200 pounds so I KNOW he's right! It's a NEVER ENDING BATTLE! SO JUST KNOW YOU ARE WORTH IT TO KEEP FIGHTING! Thanks Tom & Drew!!!
This guy articulated how my mind works with fitness. Mental toughness and willing to do hard shit, makes every thing else in life seem easier to deal with
The simple speaking of your truth and the willingness to be vulnerable and real... WOW! When women talk about wanting a strong man, this is what we are talking about!!!
LOVE this episode. Daring Greatly LITERALLY changed my life. Have read it 3 times and listened to it another 2. You bet your ass when she releases HER recording of it, that I will buy that and listen to it again. Brene Brown is an amazing soul and has taught me so many lessons. Thank you for sharing all of this Drew!
The biggest impact of this video was acknowledging that believing you are a failure, will lead you to take actions that you are a failure. I've heard what you believe is what you are, but I am currently seeing where the theme of failure is hidden in my belief system and my actions. Wow. For him to openly speak on his experience with an affair is inspiring. Even "good" people can have lapses in judgment. It's when people don't learn from their mistakes is what is damaging on a higher level.
I want to try a water fast....not sure how to prepare for it to get through the shaky blood sugar crashes...any advice for preparing or getting through it?
Thanks! ...12 hr then 24 hour of what? :) I have done 3 day fasts before, and I go 12 hrs without food regularly, it's the 18-36th hrs I find difficult...just could use advice on minimizing the weakness/shakiness that tends to happen the first day.
Hey @Felismarie Curagi, Thank you for the extra nudge! I had been wishing and washin, and finally yesterday did 24 hrs liquid only fast (water, tea, coffee w a little EV coconut oil) and I am kinda blown away how good I feel after just one day! I have a lunch date today, so will most likely start again later this week and go for 3 days.
@@TheZGALa that's awesome,try water only,you won't believe how clear yiur mind will be,your body so happy,I did 5 days 3 weeks ago.im doing it again from the 18th of nov.
This moved me! I am 1 week into tackling my mental and physical health. I have been a binge eater for as long as I can remember and hit over 200 lbs during the pandemic. I am working so hard to embrace myself and commit to healthy lifestyle changes and I have been at it for one week and have already lost 4 lbs. Just deciding that binging is cruelty towards myself. After years of knowing how much better I feel when I eat well, vs how horrible I feel when I binge junk food and how that ties into my mental health has been profound. This just hit home for me.
That statement “feeling worthy of love” so many of us struggle with that, I think so much of that is tied to childhood and our parents, who are not perfect at parenting and so many children/adults struggle trying to overcome the effects of bad parenting or not getting the love they needed growing up for the rest of their lives.
I loved this. I hope he finds greater self-awareness and self-love as his voice sounds very constricted... I feel some shame and guilt still left over. God bless him.
I truly love this ...I needed this...it starts with the heart and mind...and being kind and believing in YOU I truly love this im crying while writing this...thank you!!!!...I have been as heavy as 230 to 130 lbs....I look back at how MENTALLY HEALTHY I WAS WHEN I WAS LEAN....and the difference shows...
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:)
My comment comes from a very kind place: do you see the irony in what you just said? (If you're "working continuously" on it, then that's still the pursuit of perfection... ) ;-)
I was watching fit2fat2fit not too long ago, and there was another Aussie doing something similar. I've checked out Drew's youtube stuff but there's something brought out in this, something so much more real than what's shown there. Love it. Respect.
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 truly resonate with this. I was only able to physically transform when I got emotionally and mentally ready. I now no longer weigh myself. I love that I have set myself free from those scales. I am vegan now as for me, meat makes my eczema flare up. But I am so happy with my lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your truth. I love this.
So glad he took the time to experience this for himself .The emotional connection is real.There is boredom, habit, feelings and even for some time we've celebrated with food.
This is life changing ❤️ food is definitely such an emotional experience for me, being recognized as this being normal instead of 'weak' actually gives me my strength back. My strength to be in control of how I feel and being able to deal with and sympathize with myself on my journey instead of bullying myself into health.
This is exactly what I've been preaching my whole life to my overweight family, and why I made my company. This brings tears to my eyes because of how true and real this is. Dare I say I'm proud of myself. #mindhygienics
I loved that show so much. I lost my Dad to obesity, heart attack In front of me. I was devastated and I basically stopped eating and dropped to an unhealthy weight. Now, I’m hypothyroid and 20 lbs overweight and it’s very difficult to lose.
I am a big you tube watcher and this is the best video I have ever seen on food addiction.. weightloss.. the mental.. emotional and spiritual aspect of it. We are one.
From all the RUclips videos I have watched, I can easily say this is the most powerful and the one that has made the biggest impact on me,amazing episode 😊
The key is giving yourself positive feedback when you do the hard thing, instead of always striving for more/perfection. Negative self talk is such a struggle that influences everything in your life.
And also being really midful of the positive choices you make through out the day, congratulate yourself for even the smallest achievements and recognising what you were feeling in the moments leading up to and during the positive choices.
I didn’t know anything about Drew ,until this interview, and I feel he is completely on point with what he has said. His insight to emotions and diet are so true and really he has expressed it so well! I learned a lot .Great guest! Thank you .
Drew Manning hit the nail on the head! So many personal trainers simply focus on the physical work and not the emotional strain that many people have with eating healthy and weight loss. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DREW!!!
This conversation should be teached in schools. I love that it's a guy opening up about these experiences so that men of all ages can relate to it. What an example! Tom - once again you are the best interviewer and listener.
I have so much in common with Drew and the voices in your head. I have to be consistent everyday with listening to people like Tom and others , mantras and reading and gratitude
He was like this for a short amount of time so imagine being overweight/obese for years, even decades of their life. It's our drug. It's our comfort. It fills a void. And even he said how hard it is despite consciously being overweight for 6 months. The emotional and mental part is definitely the key to losing weight. I always saw myself as a fatty as did everyone else. I was always the big girl but it's until I began changing my self perception and facing my demons, that's when I started changing.
i have always love eating and that made me lose weight super hard, tried a lot of diets and exercises along with it, but what made it possible was agoge diet. it changed my life, and maybe yours as well
OMG meaning sincerely Drew you are my sign this morning. 65 pounds what I have to loose. On with Tom who I trust. I listen my spirit so downcast lifted. I am not giving up. I am Mormon too, a grounding thing. Your thoughts are so similar and I am going to embrace your teachings. I purchased fat2fir2fat as a Kindle, and the keto,as an audible.Thank you and thank Tom for your good energies.
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.
Thank you so much for this I can’t thank you enough, I’ve done it before and lost 70 pounds and gained it all back, I KNOW I can do it again and I am ready for this journey. I threw away a chocolate bar that I bought earlier watching this, if anyone is in the same boat just know you are not alone !!
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.
What tools?
amen!
@@nancydotimas1399 Will power. Something people clearly lack these days as tech won't do everything for you. You have to get off your ass even if you don't want too. 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. During Covid especially.
Congratulations and wishing you all the best. That is an amazing achievement.
@@nancydotimas1399 For me, Nancy, the tools are my ability to learn a better way to total health -- mentally, spiritually and physically. The information is out there free for simply searching for it.
Finally.. someone who will acknowledge the mental and emotional side of weightloss for overweight people... very inspiring.. ♡♡♡
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.
Yes, it is such a key element! So glad he has a platform to talk about this and start a conversation around it.
Yeah well he probably had to fight hard to gain and maintain his increase...so its not the same as someone who truly gains and stays overweight. But I appreciate his attempt to understand.
Telling someone to eat less and move more to lose weight is exactly the same as telling someone to spend less and make more money to become rich. Technically it is true but in reality it isn’t that easy.
This particular t.co/iqHBclbolv diet program was such an simple way for me to reduce 10 pounds in the short a couple weeks I`ve been following it. It is best to visit the site to find out more!?
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.
So good 👏👏👏 🙋♀️🌹🇦🇺
You are a True mentor for otters 🥰 and thank you for your commitment to yourself and USA
@@nn-uj1iv don't think of your self that way
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.
@@KurosakiLuvar01 very sad, so sorry you went through that, it's on you now though. The past is in the past, get counseling, creat the life you want because it's your responsibility ☺️ good luck
*Changed my life. I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box **weightlose.fitness** of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.*
This guy literally got fat and went through the journey to lose weight. That’s dedication to his business. Now he knows what we go through. He’ll be the perfect personal trainer
No. His mentally is totally different from pple who are fat in reality... not fat for an experiment...
@@mariyamniyaz it is not exactly the same, but it is a different kind of emotional pain. Imagine having your perfect body then throwing it away for an experiment? He had to look at himself with that body and was probably teased about it by his peers even if they were "just joking." It hurts no matter what. I have felt similar to this after I had my second baby I gained weight and my body changed physically to where I can no longer lose the weight to look like after my first and it just feels like it's not my body anymore.
Zairah Maldonado still not the same. Lol
@@zairahmaldonado same. I had my first last year. Ive gone from normal to overweight. My body is a mess.
@@zairahmaldonado That's the reason you shouldn't have kid's lmao

Siim Land beautiful reality. Thank you 🧡
I love this
Fantastic quote to add here, by a great author! Siim, U rock
Mind over matter
A palace full of intrigue, spies, traitors, greed and depravity...
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.
Congrats!
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
Good for you! Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤
It's called jealousy lol! U do u! Good for both of u. 😊
Yep, my family is "overweight" and when I got to a size 8, I thought huh, maybe if I get to a size 6 I'll have a little leeway to give myself some flexibility. And, my family was like, "don't lose too much more weight! Don't you think you've gone far enough? Be careful!" And I was just shaking my head.
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. 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.
I appreciate that you let your guests talk and that you listen.
After I had discovered this weight loss plan “ t.co/Jg1jUT9u9G , I felt energized to try it out immediately. I was extremely thrilled. I propose you to Google this strategy also. My good friend has got rid of 10 pounds by now because of this fat loss plan. .
I thought the same as i was listening. Makes for a better interview

When you start off on a fitness journey, most people do not focus or even mention the mental work. That was the biggest surprise to me. I’ve been in “maintenance” for 7 years, but the mental work is a work in progress everyday.
Amen to this Sylvia!! ✋😍
We are all about the mental work!
Trying is failing. It's progress!
I am so inspired to see these two men have such a deep, honest conversation about self-worth, emotions tied to weight loss and getting healthy, and the importance of learning to be vulnerable and loving yourself.
Yes|! This is way more attractive than a dick pic (just FYI guys out there 😉)
agreed
“Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.”
So true
As a currently overweight and emotional person I have to say that the mental/emotional aspect that Drew brought up is SO important. I feel like it's so much harder to lose weight when I'm sad.
Learn about the effects of cortisol 💗
Yea, sadness is actually directly proportional to over weight. Even i have to push myself now to lose all the excess weight i gained over last few years
@@mailmdivya Yea I was in that sadness mode,then was going round some gyms and eventually got into one.Almost a year now.
Yes it is. So instead i just don’t eat.
Just the question, “Why don’t you believe in yourself?”, just made me burst into tears.
When I was a kid my uncle used to tell me I was getting fat and that I was gaining weight and I believed him and decided, why not be fat? I didn’t realize what I was doing to myself, I was a child and at that time my parents were going through a divorce and I loved food so I decided that was where I was going to get my “love” then when I got to 2nd grade the bullying started and everything else was downhill after that
I haven’t believed in myself since I was 6 years old and I’m 22 now
I wish I’d known then that the weight gain he saw was me growing as a little girl, getting boobs and filling out and my mom was no help and neither was my dad since he wasn’t there
There is so much for why I don’t believe in myself
@@trippleme1298 I have had the similar thing. Once I started fasting and began to get results, I got serious. I still struggle to find a good feeling about myself. The only thing that works for me is being accountable thrugh the scale and measurements and lots of prayer and affirmations. And I am 3x your age.
@@trippleme1298 My old roommate told me to tap my heart 3 times and say.. I then tap 3 times and say Love and 3 more taps and say Me. It did and felt good, just fine. I told a friend to do the same thing and after she repeated it 3 times her eyes filled with tears. We are taught that self love is conceit or selfishness. It's not. It's beautiful to love yourself. I wish you tons of self love and great health.
@@trippleme1298 my god!! You were growing breasts and filling out at 6?
❤️❤️❤️
"How do you convince someone they're worthy? ... I still don't know "
Great to hear this level of honesty from someone in his position. Ultimately, the teacher can only show you the door; you've got to walk through it yourself.
I appreciate how respectful you are of your guests, active listening, giving space to talk.
Everything you ask/comment is relative and clarified or drives the convo deeper. A+
Western culture really does teach many of us to make an emotional connection to food as children. As you say celebrations revolve round food & as a child if I was hurt or upset I was often given a sugary food item to cheer me up and also as rewards for good behavior. Then I wonder why as an adult I always struggle to loose weight because of emotional eating.
I am wondering if I could re-parent myself by changing the celebration and the treats to real food.
Why myself as a person trying to battle my addiction has real issues with family members or well meaning people doing so with my kids. I dont worry if my kids dont eat during a party, they are running around having fun. I don't worry that they wont stop crying without a cookie or juice , because they will feel better with my emotional support than they ever could with an "acceptable pacifier " how our culture sees it any other way is beyond me .
Seriously why do we celebrate by ingesting poison? Haha
Eating together is an important bonding experience. Eating dinner with your kids isn't why you're fat.
@@DANALDTRAMP What ?!
He is so right! I've been skinny and overweight. But I never understood overweight people before becoming one. I used to think they were undisciplined. It's not like that. There is a stress eating factor, hormones change etc. I have a lot more sympathy now than I had before. Don't regret gaining weight. It was good for me. Great experience.
Same thing happened to me. Didn't understand why it was so hard to be fit. After my stressful trauma, I found out. Sadly I had to learn the hard way.
Emotional eating
Same thing happened to me. I was once a fit and athletic person. In a matter for 2 years my depression made it hard for me to keep thinking of food just as an energy source. It became an emotion. Now I'm overweight and finding extremely hard mentally and emotionally
@@Heartbreaker1999-o5s I'm the same, my depression the last 2 years meant I put on 4 stone from just emotional eating constantly, finding the motivation to change and stick to it even when your sad is so hard for me right now
@@cdelta801 hope things get better for u soon . There's always hope. It's just a matter of finding it and holding on.
I gained 35kg in 2 yrs ) so I get how it feels. Nothing is permant xx and we can always get back to fitness . It's just bout breaking the negative mentality
When they talked about that person at the restaurant eating alone having no fun.. thats me... and i just realized that was me. And i just bursted in tears. My eyes have been opened so much
I eat alone and I’m happy. I’d rather eat by myself and enjoy my own company than sit with someone who’s crazy or foolish.
EVERYTHING is a mirror of how you view yourself! EXACTLY right!
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
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.
Within the first 5 minutes im emotional to the point of tears. I didn't realize how much i relate to what he is saying. Im a beautiful mess lol.
My fitness certification dedicated a huge chapter to client motivation and compliance but it didnt quite cover all the details that operate under surface. It wasnt until I met physical and
Mental challenges and learned from them that I realized exercise and fitness is way deeper than is usually presented. I really appreciate this discussion
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
Zinagrillo 1 You are in my prayers 💕💖 God has more for you and you are not your childhood nor your past. I definitely understand. God has brought me a Mighty loong way!! Sooo grateful. JOY IS Your Portion. I encourage you to look up Invicta ministries on RUclips. Ive been learning so much from his ministry and the spiritual thats going on behind what ppl are going through. How healing and standing on God's Word is soo important. Breaking off those generational henderenses. No demon no darkness will stop Gods Destiny for your Life and to Truly Live!! Love you Sister Stay Encouraged!!
You are Sooo Worthy..Jesus would have come and died just for YOU. 💖 Do not believe the enemy ..your worth more than anything on this earth.
Self love is hard to achieve if you don't have it... as life is tough and not fair and every step of the way you life is bombarding you... And people are not making it easy.
Zinagrillo, I am so sorry that you had to suffer like that. You are worth so much more than you know! Love yourself and never listen to the king of darkness. he only wants your suffering, as he is suffering. misery loves company so don't join him. I don't know you, but I love you! You are amazing! You are a beautiful shining star! You will get there!!
zinagrillo1 you don’t have to keep carrying your mothers darkness it’s not your fault that she made a choice in her life to take her life. Just because she couldn’t love you doesn’t mean your not worthy of love.
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.
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.
Love that!
Amen!

Back at you playa !!
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. I loved to hear this guest perspective and he is so right about experimenting to find out what works for you. Thanks Tom! Big hugs from Shanghai ❤️
What do you if u have kids and the temptations are in your house?
@@britreid5893 get them to eat healthy as well. Learn how to make delicious meals you all can eat. Not every snack has to be cheese puffs and toaster strudels. Give them fruits, yogurt, cheese sticks and veggies straws.
Love this inerview. I did a ten day water fast once in Australa, and the CEO gave a great talk in which he spoke about what it was okay to eat. This guy positively glowed with good health. I never saw someone who radiated as much good health as he did before or since. He said: "If you want ice cream, have ice cream. If you want a steak now and then, have steak. It isn't want you eat some of the time that'll kill you but what you eat most of the time."
"Vulnerability is weakness" has been a pervasive societal undertone for so long. Thank you for promoting this empowering paradigm shift to "Vulnerability as Strength" ♥️💪♥️💪♥️
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.
Would love to know what those amazing books were.
This guy has more emotions than my wife!! So nice to see that. I don;t understand why people hide their real emotions.
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.
"I suffered in life because of how I view myself; I saw myself as a failure because of these - 'weaknesses,' or sins that I had, and because of that I did failure-like things because I saw myself as a failure."
SO many people do in society today, and this is why we need to spread the message of positive self-talk.

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!
Hows everything going now, 4 months later?
How has your journey been going 3 years out?
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.
Ray Carpio all the best 🥑
Soo encouraging thank you… I am 147-149 and 4’11 and I definitely look big. This week I am starting my change of diet for the long run… my body is aching to the changes but I’m going to push through to get go 120-125ish
I'm 180lbs and 5'3. Wish me luck lmao. I just wanna be 145 at least
ruclips.net/video/V0XlBGFR_R0/видео.html
@@GoldenLegacyKennels I am in your exact same shoes. Same weight as you and goal to start is 135, then 120. Here is to US ❤️💪🏼. We got this !
This guy knows his shit! Pure Facts!! Love that he's HUMBLE n GENUINE.
Love the tracker at the bottom. Great content as always, Tom. Drew Manning is super inspirational!
I'm a fan of the tracker too
I experienced the same concept when I started yoga.. You see someone doing a pose and you think I'll never be able to do that. But little by little, by modifications one day you find your body in that pose that you think you'll never been able to get into. That change from impossibility to possibility changes your inner self and you believe you can achive things that seems out of reach.
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.
👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for reminding me that I need to practice kindly mastery over this body. For many months now, I have used digestive enzymes to help me with sensitivities and allergies.
Food addiction and sugar cravings are no joke. I was going to give myself a free day on Halloween to enjoy the treats going around work. I went crazy with sugar for 2 days, not only 1. I felt sick, didn’t really enjoy the taste, but I couldn’t stop. I did much better today.
Yes. There is a relationship to our gut biome and what foods we crave. This also affects our emotional state of mind.
It also causes endorphins and serotonin to release in your brain and goes through the body just like any other addition
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.
Man oh man Drew gets me, I totally believe there is a direct connection with your emotional being in order to be healthy, it not just about lose weight but go to our core belief system in order to see true transformation in all areas of our lives
“You’re worth to keep fighting for” (Drew) - wow, so very powerful and is one of my key takeaways from this episode! Thank you Tom for inviting Drew. His responses were so very on-point for me and gave me a new perspective for my personal transformation. Thanks again!
This one was really really really really good
Thanks Tom, Drew & the whole team behind the cameras!
“I can do hard things” is the exact thing I need to hear
I liked his voice, it's so clear and consistent i understood everything he said.
As a foreigner not being English my primary language sometimes is very hard to listen to motivation speakers that speak that clear.
The question at 2:31 says this guy is for real. It is different for everyone. No cookie cutter when we hurt beyond what we can repair in our limited knowledge we move to what we think can help. That is what we come across in our journey. I lost weight and gained it back trying to figure out how to not repeat. He figured out the first part. I now realize there is more.
DUDE IS INCREDIBLY HANDSOME. Great advice as well.
I personally will NEVER patronize a trainer thats not ever been overweight... theyll never understand the true struggle.
I don’t think they ever will either. Unless they were straight up fat their whole life and then because my a PT after weightloss. I’ve heard of those stories.
Quiet ignorant
@@crrimz yes, be quiet... ignorant
lol 😆
I think our ability to accomplish any goal is always in our head. If we can believe we can do it then we can. If we don't believe we can, then it can't be done.

I love it I just told my friend stop making excuses. When we make excuses we will never change.

amen!!!!!! ive battled my own mental health for a few years and i just started consistently working out and eating healthy, this is my TIME. it is def a mental thing. god bless everyone fighting for their great health and a great life!!!! IT WILL BE WORTH IT!
Watching Drew speak made me emotional seeing that by him inspiring and helping others his life was touched..nothing I love more when a tough dude gets emotional
Self-worth is someone who is doing the hard things, and is NOT successful, but still has hope. This person still believes that it is possible. It is belief in the possibility that is important. Every time you fail, you try again. Your self-worth is the willingness to try again! These guys just don't get it completely, but I appreciate their desire to understand.
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7 states. The foundation of what he says with the emotional connection with food. Believe in yourself for you can do it.
It's 2:51 AM and just finished watching this. Mind blown. Thank you Tom for this introduction and thank you for what you do. Thank you Drew. I can relate on so many levels, you're speaking to my soul. I'm moving over to your podcasts right now.
"I can do hard things!" this has to be the most powerful affirmation I have heard. Thank you. I needed this 🙌
I did an episode on my youtube channel about 2 years ago about this Tom! SO GREAT to see somebody else affirm what I said. It was called "you'll never keep the weight off unless you do this" I lost 200 pounds so I KNOW he's right! It's a NEVER ENDING BATTLE! SO JUST KNOW YOU ARE WORTH IT TO KEEP FIGHTING! Thanks Tom & Drew!!!
This guy articulated how my mind works with fitness. Mental toughness and willing to do hard shit, makes every thing else in life seem easier to deal with
The simple speaking of your truth and the willingness to be vulnerable and real... WOW! When women talk about wanting a strong man, this is what we are talking about!!!
LOVE this episode. Daring Greatly LITERALLY changed my life. Have read it 3 times and listened to it another 2. You bet your ass when she releases HER recording of it, that I will buy that and listen to it again. Brene Brown is an amazing soul and has taught me so many lessons. Thank you for sharing all of this Drew!
The biggest impact of this video was acknowledging that believing you are a failure, will lead you to take actions that you are a failure. I've heard what you believe is what you are, but I am currently seeing where the theme of failure is hidden in my belief system and my actions. Wow. For him to openly speak on his experience with an affair is inspiring. Even "good" people can have lapses in judgment. It's when people don't learn from their mistakes is what is damaging on a higher level.
Watching this while just completed a 10 days water-only fast. I feel the best I've ever been.
I want to try a water fast....not sure how to prepare for it to get through the shaky blood sugar crashes...any advice for preparing or getting through it?
Gabrielle Angel Lilly 12hour then 24 hour. + + +
It’s a skill just like any other. Like swimming, barefoot running, yoga, gardening...
Good luck!! :-D
Thanks! ...12 hr then 24 hour of what? :) I have done 3 day fasts before, and I go 12 hrs without food regularly, it's the 18-36th hrs I find difficult...just could use advice on minimizing the weakness/shakiness that tends to happen the first day.
Hey @Felismarie Curagi, Thank you for the extra nudge! I had been wishing and washin, and finally yesterday did 24 hrs liquid only fast (water, tea, coffee w a little EV coconut oil) and I am kinda blown away how good I feel after just one day! I have a lunch date today, so will most likely start again later this week and go for 3 days.
@@TheZGALa that's awesome,try water only,you won't believe how clear yiur mind will be,your body so happy,I did 5 days 3 weeks ago.im doing it again from the 18th of nov.
This moved me! I am 1 week into tackling my mental and physical health. I have been a binge eater for as long as I can remember and hit over 200 lbs during the pandemic. I am working so hard to embrace myself and commit to healthy lifestyle changes and I have been at it for one week and have already lost 4 lbs. Just deciding that binging is cruelty towards myself. After years of knowing how much better I feel when I eat well, vs how horrible I feel when I binge junk food and how that ties into my mental health has been profound. This just hit home for me.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue. proverbs 18:21
That statement “feeling worthy of love” so many of us struggle with that, I think so much of that is tied to childhood and our parents, who are not perfect at parenting and so many children/adults struggle trying to overcome the effects of bad parenting or not getting the love they needed growing up for the rest of their lives.
I loved this. I hope he finds greater self-awareness and self-love as his voice sounds very constricted... I feel some shame and guilt still left over. God bless him.
I truly love this ...I needed this...it starts with the heart and mind...and being kind and believing in YOU I truly love this im crying while writing this...thank you!!!!...I have been as heavy as 230 to 130 lbs....I look back at how MENTALLY HEALTHY I WAS WHEN I WAS LEAN....and the difference shows...
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:)
"Perfect is the enemy of good". Steven Crowder
It’s better to create habits
My comment comes from a very kind place: do you see the irony in what you just said? (If you're "working continuously" on it, then that's still the pursuit of perfection... ) ;-)
Waste not waist
Ok. This is my favourite chat of all time, so far. Two beautiful humans, discussing health with wisdom, compassion and understanding. Thank you!

I was watching fit2fat2fit not too long ago, and there was another Aussie doing something similar. I've checked out Drew's youtube stuff but there's something brought out in this, something so much more real than what's shown there. Love it. Respect.
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 truly resonate with this. I was only able to physically transform when I got emotionally and mentally ready. I now no longer weigh myself. I love that I have set myself free from those scales. I am vegan now as for me, meat makes my eczema flare up. But I am so happy with my lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your truth. I love this.
So glad he took the time to experience this for himself .The emotional connection is real.There is boredom, habit, feelings and even for some time we've celebrated with food.
This phrase gets me through "feel the pain, push past it"
guilt and shame are devastating for the heart and health, today we can open up and realize we all carreid this inside
This is life changing ❤️ food is definitely such an emotional experience for me, being recognized as this being normal instead of 'weak' actually gives me my strength back. My strength to be in control of how I feel and being able to deal with and sympathize with myself on my journey instead of bullying myself into health.
This was a great interview. You're such a great interviewer, Tom. You ask the best questions. Bravo to you Drew.
This is exactly what I've been preaching my whole life to my overweight family, and why I made my company. This brings tears to my eyes because of how true and real this is. Dare I say I'm proud of myself. #mindhygienics
I loved that show so much. I lost my Dad to obesity, heart attack In front of me. I was devastated and I basically stopped eating and dropped to an unhealthy weight. Now, I’m hypothyroid and 20 lbs overweight and it’s very difficult to lose.
This series is the best thing on RUclips. Thank you!
I am a big you tube watcher and this is the best video I have ever seen on food addiction.. weightloss.. the mental.. emotional and spiritual aspect of it. We are one.
From all the RUclips videos I have watched, I can easily say this is the most powerful and the one that has made the biggest impact on me,amazing episode 😊
You should watch the snake diet
Almost 2 years late on this but WOW! AMAZING! The Health & Fitness industry needs way more of this type of conversation. Brilliant.
Great interview! Drew is such a great leader in the ketogenic space.
The key is giving yourself positive feedback when you do the hard thing, instead of always striving for more/perfection. Negative self talk is such a struggle that influences everything in your life.
And also being really midful of the positive choices you make through out the day, congratulate yourself for even the smallest achievements and recognising what you were feeling in the moments leading up to and during the positive choices.
I didn’t know anything about Drew ,until this interview, and I feel he is completely on point with what he has said. His insight to emotions and diet are so true and really he has expressed it so well! I learned a lot .Great guest! Thank you .
Drew Manning hit the nail on the head! So many personal trainers simply focus on the physical work and not the emotional strain that many people have with eating healthy and weight loss. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DREW!!!
Drew Manning made me lose 30 kgs. Introduced me to Keto. Thank you ! I am on Keto 2.0 now since I gained some weight back but I know “how” now.
This conversation should be teached in schools. I love that it's a guy opening up about these experiences so that men of all ages can relate to it. What an example!
Tom - once again you are the best interviewer and listener.
I'm struggling to lose 50 pounds, and just wanna give up. This made me work harder
Keep going and train your mind to have healthy habits 🙏🙏
Did u lose tho
I have so much in common with Drew and the voices in your head. I have to be consistent everyday with listening to people like Tom and others , mantras and reading and gratitude
What’s discusting to me is food eating contests-glorifying overeating.
Disgusting
Powerful! “Everything happens for your greater good.” Love it! I need to remember this during hard times

This is truly the main part of my struggle. Good to see someone like him pursuing growth and mental change and positivity.
He was like this for a short amount of time so imagine being overweight/obese for years, even decades of their life. It's our drug. It's our comfort. It fills a void. And even he said how hard it is despite consciously being overweight for 6 months.
The emotional and mental part is definitely the key to losing weight. I always saw myself as a fatty as did everyone else. I was always the big girl but it's until I began changing my self perception and facing my demons, that's when I started changing.
I am somewhat new to the channel. You are the best interviewer in that you are efficient and ask critical questions then let your guests flow.
i have always love eating and that made me lose weight super hard, tried a lot of diets and exercises along with it, but what made it possible was agoge diet. it changed my life, and maybe yours as well
OMG meaning sincerely Drew you are my sign this morning. 65 pounds what I have to loose. On with Tom who I trust. I listen my spirit so downcast lifted. I am not giving up. I am Mormon too, a grounding thing. Your thoughts are so similar and I am going to embrace your teachings. I purchased fat2fir2fat as a Kindle, and the keto,as an audible.Thank you and thank Tom for your good energies.
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.
Hey, how are you doing today ?
I’m not you anymore, I am me - so powerful and inspirational - love from Sydney Australia
I wish more people would be able to understand the mental and emotional aspects that we go through. This is awesome
"Your worth it to keep fighting " and
focus on the progress! Love this!
Thank you so much for this I can’t thank you enough, I’ve done it before and lost 70 pounds and gained it all back, I KNOW I can do it again and I am ready for this journey. I threw away a chocolate bar that I bought earlier watching this, if anyone is in the same boat just know you are not alone !!
