Hello and welcome to the Chris Terrell podcast. My name is Chris Terrell.

Thanks so much for being here. If you're new here, as I said, my name is Chris Terrell. I've lost

125 pounds. It took me two and a half years to do it. And now I am a weight loss coach

dedicated to helping others change their life, lose the weight. Or, well, I want to start saying

that a little differently. Releasing the weight that has been accumulated and being carried around

and doing it the right way. You know, I did the yo-yo diet up and down up and

down you know like like many of you have you know where you would keep gaining weight and kind of just

ignoring it pretending it's not happening not and strangely somehow even convincing yourself you don't

see it in the mirror you know i'm not that

bad it's not that big a deal i'll take care of this this won't be a problem i can just lose this

at any time and then you know finally reaching a number or a moment in time that creates an intense

state of awareness towards how big I had actually gotten.

You know, maybe it would be a overly innocent comment from a kid.

Perhaps a picture captured of me unexpectedly from an angle where I was not prepared

that I then later saw where that photo would hide nothing about what I look like.

Or sizing out of clothes that I told myself, wow, it wasn't that long ago that I actually bought this size.

And here I am already filling it up and moving on into the next one.

Whatever that moment would be, there would come some moment in time where I'd be like, you know what, screw this, I'm done.

I'm sick and tired of being big.

I'm sick and tired of hating my body.

I'm sick and tired of not even liking, like honestly, just looking in mirrors only as much

as absolutely required for basics of grooming and no other times.
