Hello and welcome to the Chris Terrell podcast. My name is Chris Terrell. And if you're new here,

I've lost 125 pounds myself and now I'm a weight loss coach teaching you and others how to achieve

the same results.

In my case, my weight loss came after an entire adulthood of constant yo-yo dieting,

up down, up down, up down, up down again.

When I finally changed my mindset, when I finally changed my mentality,

when I finally started approaching my life and myself and my weight differently,

I started to get different results.

You know, with that yo-yo dieting that I was talking about, the up, down, up, down again,

I was doing the same thing over and over again. I was constantly going back to the same methodology of losing weight.

You want to know what mine was? It was cutting out carbs.

That's how I lost weight.

Every time in the past, I would just cut out all the carbs.

I'd start eating all the bacon, all the hot chicken wings, all the cheese sticks, all the eggs,

all that is diced ham, the rib-eyes, the avocados, the rotissory chickens. I'd just start living on them. That's all I'd eat. And I'd just watch the weight melt off me until finally be like, fuck this. And I'd go back to eating the way I did before. and I'd start gaining all the weight back.

And so it just became this yo-yo diet up down. And every time I'm just questioning my own dedication and commitment to myself, man, why can't I just stick to this carb diet? Why can't I just do it? So every time I'd start another carb diet, it was just a race against my own damn willpower. I was just trying to get the weight off as fast as humanly possible before I would just tap out and quit.

And then, you know, sometime later, I'd feel enough pain, annoyance, suffering, whatever

sort of dissatisfaction with my weight.

Maybe a number I couldn't see on the scale or a piece of clothing I was sizing out of.

And I'd say, no, no, no, can't be here.

And I'd just feel that motivation.

I'd go lose a little bit of weight.
