    Hi Brix.
    One thing I have learned is that when we don't heal and when we are unaware of how our past influenced us, we choose partners that are a reflection of what we experienced in our childhood.
    I attracted a narcisst in my college years after having lived with a narcisstic mother who was abusive.

    Okay, Brix...This may be a lot. But, I hope you have time to read it. I just watched this video on the date of these comments. Although I have followed your channel for a minute, with no actions taken, I have never commented. I like seeing the stories of drastic transformation and life change. Today I did a search on UA-cam for "When you feel stuck" and this is the first video I came to. Wow, what a dynamic 15 minutes of realness. I have been stuck for a very long time. I am approaching 55. I feel like my best days are still ahead. But I was feeling the pull of not having my dream career, not being in the best physical condition, and relationship "not". I recently went up from 195 lbs to 216 while working from home since the pandemic started. I just want to conquer these things to realize my ultimate dreams. Thank you for the tips that will really get me started. I am really isolated these days anyway. But, now I know how to maximize that isolation and work on myself. The first domino will continue to stick with me. I really am excited. I had to write this. So much is lying dormant in me in talent and ability. I am about to get unstuck.

    Like I always say you are an epic inspiration Brix, I am now officially back in the gym and i am pushing, started working out mid lockdown around the 13th April and i was 167.5kg, last week i was 136kg, people like short cuts and I believe in putting in work, I gained alot of weight when I was working out of my city only eating junk but now I am not really working I am WORKING ON MYSELF, I realised that once I am okay with myself then the rest shall follow, I always tell people who ask how I did it and I say I changed my mindset and my body followed suit and i went from a 46 waist to a very lose 42 waist and from 3 and 4 XL to 2XL, the smaller I get the more I realise how they make the ugliest clothes for us fat people but I shall continue my journey, much love from 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼

Being in a long term relationship of almost two decades, I like many got complacent and out of shape but now I'm faced with the reality of being 40 single and overweight. My plans for the future are therapy and getting back in shape. Your weight loss and fitness journey has inspired me many times over brother ✊🏾.I appreciate the truth and honesty in your post.

    I have lived through this, all of it.
    And for me, a certain level of isolation was really helpful, however difficult. The person I am alone and the person I became in front of other people were not always the same. Not on purpose, but shame, anxiety, discomfort woukd take over. I also needed to confront myself with honesty.
    I still do it.
    This labor day weekend is being spent alone because I need it, to sort out my feelings on some things.
    Self reflection is a sign of emotional intelligence.
