In this episode of the Chris Terrell podcast, Chris talks about the journey of losing weight and what lies on the other side of this journey. 


He shares his personal experiences of losing 125 pounds and being able to maintain that loss. Using his own life as an example, he emphasizes the importance of making meaningful and permanent changes to lifestyle habits, routines, environment, and belief system rather than just focusing on short-term diets. 


Chris also highlights that losing weight won't necessarily solve all problems in life and doesn't necessarily make someone happier, but it can open up mental space to focus on other important aspects of life. For Chris, the pursuit of peace was what was waiting for him on the other side of his weight loss journey. He concludes by encouraging everyone to enjoy the journey of weight loss, and life in general, rather than rush it.

And welcome to another week of your weight loss quest.

0:20.8

How did this last week go for you?

0:22.3

What challenges did you run headfirst into?

0:25.3

More importantly, though, what failures did you encounter?

1:13.2

There's so much waiting for you on the other side of the weight loss journey.

1:28.8

Like, so far, nobody's actually walked up to me and been like, hey, Chris, what are you talking about?

1:33.5

You're saying on the other side of it, what's, what, what is it?

1:35.9

Like, no one's ever come and asked me, like, point blank.

1:39.0

And I was like, well, maybe I should, maybe I should have an answer thought of at least once before that happens.

1:46.8
