Shift Your Mindset To Achieve Better Health - Lisa Nichols

[@lavonnejohnson8382]

It's hard writing this message to you as I cry. The beginning of 2017 this video was brought to me. I was pregnant by a guy who didn't want to have a child with me. I was afraid to be a single mom at the age 23. (Fear and Fuel Video) encourage me to take charge and to not give up. I eventually had a missed carriage due to the stress. And lack of support from my foster family and biological family. I pressed restart and graduate from college, moved into my own place, I changed my eating habits became a vegetarian, I was 290lbs and I'm currently 180lbs. My journey is not complete, I need to drop 60 pounds and keep it off, and prepare for the military. You are an amazing women Lisa thank you for helping me! And helping me stay confident and motivated. With me being in foster care since I was 11 and aging out at 21 years old, I have never stop believing in me. I have faith that God has a plan for me, I just have to believe it. You are my sister and healer. I know God has brought you into my life for a reason. Thank you, Lavonne

[@angelkisses2562]

Beautiful testimony!!

[@victoriaallen3753]

May God bless you on your journey Lavonne!

[@RijoleBitata]

Hi Lavonne, how is your journey going? Are you in the military?

[@01motherearth1]

Your words hit me so hard I dropped out of college in my 3rd year and I've been putting on jackets like crazy trying to cover up feeling like a failure. I tried to go back last year but I didn't have the courage but today I'm getting out of bed and heading over there and get registered. I didn't think I deserved to get that degree but today I do I really do.

[@ericawiliams3828]

01motherearth1 YOU deserve it all please keep me posted. I am excited to go through this journey with you. I was a young single mother of two working fulltime when I achieved my BA. I went through hell but it was well worth it.

[@kemsparkle]

You can do it!!!! Go for it!!!! You will surprised how things will fall into place for you. Ask for help if you need it....Make friends with your professors and classmates they will help you through. In the past, I failed so many times, dropped out of college a few times but I am back now and excelling !!!!

[@thesistaboi9756]

YOU DESERVE THE BEST! Don't SETTLE! So proud of you for going for it!! You are meant for success!! We are all rooting for you!!

[@01motherearth1]

Thank you to each you for the encouragement.

[@AllAboutEveWebTV]

01motherearth1 YOU HEAD RIGHT OVER AND DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT! Trust me I know the feeling that you are speaking of it is fear. Your life experience will add so much to others in your class. DO IT! It is the proudest feeling to show not everyone else, but yourself. YOU GET IT AND STAY FOCUSED! I will end with this quote to you... "She remembered who she was and the game changed!" - by Lala Deliah

[@tammybain6582]

I sell for a living and your questions help me bring goals to my guests. This opens them up and allows me to help them and to really listen to me. Thank you.

[@arleighskibinsky8187]

BOL I numbed myself as a jacket. When clean from drugs and abusive relationships, I have continued to struggle with suicidal thoughts and chronic ptsd, still wearing that jacket that I put on as a little girl. I will hold on to the vision, walking towards the woman I have always know myself to be. The fabric can not last in our light. Thank you Lisa and thank you all❤

[@arehoneb]

by watching this i just realised i deserve to look and feel beautiful, from the inside out

[@TheZGALa]

I was just writing about how this is all an ongoing, evolutionary process. For more than a year, I have considered you my personal mentor, yet unmet. So many breakthroughs are happening, and so much goodness reiterated in this talk. I have gained and lost more than 100 pounds of 'bagage/conceilant' twice in this body...so easy to fall back into unconscious habits. I am very thankful for you and your sharing, and I know each of our stories are needed to help us all along. Much love and gratitude Lisa!

[@LatinRoses]

This moved me like nothing else. It spoke to me like nothing else. To release the jacket that serves me all these years. Thank it. Apologize to it. Can you see the best version of yourself. The most beautiful self you have ever seen. It is has been waiting for you. Thank your old jacket for being there for you for a season. And, walk towards the new, healthy, improved you. The you that has been waiting for you. After listening to your words, emotions ripped through me. Tears filled my eyes. I am ready to release my jacket

[@5drealitehonie776]

U said my truth, I was not able to handle the attention from men, and women would give me crazy looks & sometimes clutch their man. But when I gained weight I notice these women would speak and be friendly. It's a crazy mess but now I'm going to lose 100lbs, but suit myself up with luv and acceptance and will continue to lv, respect and honor myself when I lose this weight too. Thank you Lisa for all you do for me, I just found you this year (2017) so happy God put you n my path!

Hi delisha, let support each other in the battle I need to lose 60 lbs.

[@RijoleBitata]

How is your transformation journey going?

[@kokopuff537]

Wow so real and heartfelt. Take the jacket off. It doesn't matter how long it's been worn. It's been protection. Thank it and release it.

[@evalinebeaird2603]

I needed to hear this message for several reasons. The part about confusing intimacy with love was huge for me. Hearing its okay to ask yourself why do I put some many people before me at the detriment of my livelihood. I've listened to this twice now I'm getting ready to share it with every friend I feel will be blessed by this message. This message did for me what several years of therapy and seeing a psychiatrist didn't accomplish. Lord thank you. when the student is ready to learn the right teacher will show up at the appropriate time.

[@ingac4297]

Oh my God it's just like you lived my life I went from a size 10 to 18. From 155 to 234 I can't get this weight off because I've been so depressed for so long and the looks that I get from women when I walk in a room could kill you and from men they're always looking to see you how they can get next to me. For so many years I felt like a failure for so many years about 15 no about 16 years now. When you started to crying on the video I could feel you pain It made me realize how loving and kind of a person you are I can't express that any more and to know that somebody live my pain somebody I can truly relate to...it's just phenomenal. Again I'm grateful for the time that you take to give to others. Thank you Lisa!

[@chantwaunc.williams5137]

I'm that woman you described. I am overweight for protection. I need the change so badly. It's been 35 years I've struggled with my weight. The scars are very deep. Thanks for sharing your deepest experiences to heal others. I don't know how I am going to get my breakthrough but I'm committed to keep trying.

[@bobbyj7904]

Because of your love I working to build my life's blueprint. I'm working to get pass all the noise and to love myself with passion so that I can live the abundant life I deserve and destined to live. Thank you Lisa.

[@LisaNichols]

So glad you liked my message, Bobby! #abundancenow

[@mikadee9740]

You spoke my story and all these years.. i thought i was the only 1. I put on a 150lbs jacket and shut down. I no longer trusted myself and wanted to make myself 'invisible' to everyone. As punishment for poor relationship decisions and not wanting to 'compete' with women.. I put on my jacket and stopped life. It's been about 12yrs and I'm just starting to wake up. I am just getting started and trying to figure out how to help me, get back to being me. But I thank you!!

[@betz5185]

Thank you Lisa! I have a thing with my best friend. When there is an eye opening thought, we tell each other "I got a life click today" lol You gave me a life click today Lisa when you said "Can you see yourself...with beauty that takes your own breath away..." I stopped your video and though " Dang, life click! That makes sense!" In life we go crying cause other people don't appreciate us... or trying to change to be noticed or admired by others! But nooo it's about taking YOUR OWN BREATH AWAY! Becoming who you know in your heart that your meant to become! I will work hard and develop the beauty that will take my own breath away... because I know that only then it will be true beauty, for it will filled with self love and self acceptance. Much love to you ❤️

[@azaleatoney2529]

I can relate to the comment under me... I went to college...I spent 5 years trying to get my degree letting others dictate my actions and make my choices for me. I became "comfortable and complacent". I got a boyfriend who shared the same fears and directionless mindset. Then I put on 75 pounds because he didnt like the attention I got from other guys similar to the video, and he said he loved me at any size (just didn't ask myself the same question). Food was also my comfort zone... I didnt have the emotional support I needed from him, my friends, or my family. I got the courage to leave the relationship only to try and run back when the depression came but God prevented it. I became a "people person who hates people" & stayed in a dead end job because I lacked the experience component to go with my degree. Now Im trying to love myself, shed the weight, and really figure out what makes me happy. The fear of failure is real and hard... I know "fear is just an emotion like every other one, that acts and can turn into the future through self fulfilling prophecies"... Im just trying to muster the courage to make that initial leap into the unknown and land of uncertainty... Its easier to believe in others than yourself at times, but I'm jumping in! One area at a time. Pray for me!

[@davidmedansky1265]

Your message resonated with me. In July 2016, my doctor told me I had a 95% risk for a heart attack, He gave me a choice. Lose weight or find a new doctor. During the next 4 months I lost 50 pounds. And I haven't found them again. I've made a lifestyle change. Being overweight and obesity is an Epidemic in the US today. More than 71% of the U.S. Adult population is overweight or obese. Yet, most of the weight loss programs never address the mindset of weight issues. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@MsKOmedian]

Thank you Lisa!! My "take away" from this video is "If you take care of your body.. It will take care of you. " I have missed out on so many opportunities due to the excessive weight gain (notice I said "THE" and not "MY" because it doesn't belong to me) .. yes, YESSS!!

[@onmyway6100]

Thank You! Yesterday I went to the gym as a guest and worked out for nothing. I knew I wasn't motivated enough to run on a treadmill so I went to the stairmaster. As im on the stairmaster for about 5 mins, I relized how much that wasn't motivating me either. So I made up in my mind I was done working out for that day. I felt like that moment was senseless. I didn't even want to sign up for a membership because I was unsure if I was going to motivate myself enough to consistently workout and eat healthy. As I began to think about what I really was doing, it didn't make any sense. I wasn't motivated enough to understand I deserved results and accountability. (BOL moment) So today I'm flipping my mindset about my health and committ myself to knowing who I know myself to be. This was right on time!

[@haychlee]

Hearing you explain about why you were wearing that 80lb jacket (extra weight) resonated completely. Thanking that same jacket for carrying you but now you give yourself permission to exist without it....further filled me with love and respect for my body - it's time to come home..... [Just turned 50, Knowing it's time to live my life correctly....I am studying all Lisa Nichols, Erkart Tolle and a few Intermittent Fasting experts, who are each, in their own ways, allowing me to become 'the best version of myself' (LN). Already lost 23 llbs with ease. My relationship with food has drastically changed. I am experiencing an almost overwhelming feeling of abundance and gratitude about my life]. Thank you Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thelovleeme]

I'm listening to this and you are telling my story with the words I didn't have organized to say. I need to listen again and again. Thank you my sister.

[@siakala7078]

This is timeless. Here i am Oct 17th 2024 from Fiji & Ive been starting my journey in rediscovering myself. Just Amazed & Grateful to God He certainly sheperds His children..& YOU ARE my sister. HE put you in my life, this time, right now, to teach me, support me in my healing, my road to freedom. 🥰🙌🙌

[@LuzmilaMH]

This episode really rang true for me. Your words are exactly what I needed to hear. The jacket perfectly describes what I was holding onto. The unwanted attention I always received from men when I was thin made me uncomfortable and feel unsafe at sometimes. I'm on my journey to a healthy, strong me. You had me in tears. Love you.

[@SaberEsvida]

So many true in one ☝🏻 video , I am have being up and down with might weight for years now. Emotional eating and not having the courage to face the truth of why I gain weight. That stops today .. thank you Lisa

[@kaylajoseph8334]

Thank you Lisa! I have my 100lbs jacket on & I let it go & pick it back up but when I heard you say emotional healing, apology to it & change direction. Also fully surrender & ask for help. Thanks again

[@dontajohnson9581]

when you said you only need that jacket for that period of time to get me through and once i'm ready thank it and let it go that really resonated with me! I never felt that I could own a room i use to stay home because i was afraid of the things people would say or not say but think it. i used food to masc the pain and the uncertainty. I held on to that jacket for 15 years and thanks to you im finally ready to let it go!!!!!!!!!

[@CoachSherri]

Yes, Yes. Thinking that I am not worthy of those results. A light went on. I hide behind saying "People won't be ready if I get this body together". But it really is me......

[@princessgigiking]

Do the necessary thing over and over again, consistently (action) you will get the results you are looking for. Thanks Lisa💗

[@successfulmindpower]

Hi Lisa, your words about the weight loss journey had me doing the ugly cry because I realized that my weight gain and loss over the years was not a weakness but the weight I gained was a coat I put on to weather the storms in my life. I put on weight when I lost two children, I put on weight when I got divorced, I put on weight to protect me from me when I started to take on behavior that I knew was wrong and bad for me. I recently examined my life and found that I too always wanted to be liked and loved so I took care of everyone but me. I started my health journey again and I have shed 14 lbs of my security blanket. I have a long way to go to get to my goal weight but now that my body and mind are in harmony, I know with absolute certainty that I will make it. What really resonated with me was when you said to thank my body and apologize to it. I did the ugly cry in that moment. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@angenettcurry7557]

A real BOL!!! I got a divorce in 2005 which was devastating and heartbreaking. I became very withdrawn and did not allow myself to have any friends. I moved to another city, got two jobs and went to school full time. I felt happiness was not for me and gave up any pursuit to have it. All I did was work, school and relentlessly strived to be the best mommy I could be. I did not go anywhere unless it was the grocery store, the mall with my kids or outing that required them to attend with me. This was my life for 10 years and I never stopped to ask myself why. Now that they are adults and have left the nest, I am trying to piece my life together that I lost a long time ago. Lisa, I watch your videos everyday and I cry every episode. if only you knew how you have lit an internal fire in me that was hidden for many years. I thank you for sharing your stories, for speaking the truth and for giving me the courage to reach into myself and love that person. I now know that I matter and my dreams is a priority. It took 12 years for me to reach this point but it is an awakening that touched my soul.

[@divinafrances]

Wow. Thank you for your wisdom and strength. I cried with you and it was a heartfelt conversation. What I was able to get out this video at the end was that in order to achieve better health you have to love yourself first and foremost. Accept all of you in the now and move towards the new you, the real you that's always been there waiting for you to integrate. I've realized all the time I've lost the weigth, and gained it back on was because I was putting some much pressure and restrictions on myself, giving myself only conditional love like the narcisstic parent I had. I loved myself when I looked good and if there was a time where I became fat again I would just curse my body and not accept where it was. Then I remembered that is what my mother used to do to me. Now being conscious and aware of that pattern I'am able to flip that script or story, and when I do gain the weight I give myself compassion and understanding and ask myself what am I holding onto? and what is stressing me?, or what am I having a hard time letting go of? Thinking in this new way has helped me shift my mindset and relax more , knowing that I'm in control of my mind and body. Now I know I need to be more gentle, loving and appreciate my body no matter how it looks knowing that if I do, it will respond to me in a positive way. In my journey, it seems that the reoccuring theme is love thyself and know your worth, all is well will follow. You are Amazing!❤️

[@cecilebrown21]

Whoa...you just...whoa! #YANA I do not know what my exact issue is, but I have stopped & started my health kick sooo many times! My dream that I'm chasing requires me to be in great shape so you'd think I would stay on track. This video has now forced me to figure out what my unconscious, unhealthy mindset is & you deal with it asap! Thank you once again! I'm so happy to be a part of your tribe😘

[@tracytracy741]

YANA the jacket! I wore my jacket for 20 years. It was my protection. Until today, I have never met anyone else who appreciates the jacket for the time you wore it! When I was able to acknowledge this, I took off and my life was transformed, the weight was just an visible reflection of the inner transformation. I say YANA again because it feels so good to know I am NOT alone. Blessings to you!

[@LaDonnamg]

Thank you so much for being so open with us. I feel like I need to watch this video like 5 more times until I can articulate exactly what it means to me. I am over weight. I have been over weight my entire life, and I can see that the lack I had growing up manifested in my eating habits( and other things). I have come to a place where I could accept lack as my past, but it has no place in my present and certainly not my future. I look at myself... my rolls and my folds and I say "I know you were trying to protect me for the winter, but spring is coming. and so I thank you for your service but I release you." this video took it farther for me. 1st I have to take ownership. I did this. It was not done to me. I've been harming, covering, steal beauty, health, happiness, maybe even years from myself, so I need to accept MY responsibility in that and then forgive myself. WOW #BOL I don't know I feel like there was some much truth it this video. It stirred up something in me... I need to wait for the dust to settle before I can see clearly what it was. Again thank-you!

[@DavinaDrazier]

The game changer for me is listening to you when in one of your videos you said "give yourself a chance and know that it is ok. I find myself uncomfortable with my thoughts and in my skin. My BoL came in multi shots and i did not know what to do with myself. I am a terminally ill person and i settled in the mindset that this is how i will meet my demise. As a result of listening to you i have shifted my mindset and start reorganizing my entire life. I am hoping to tell my story very soon. Keep up the great work and blessings always

[@ShhhawnaMarie]

Wow! You always touch my heart with your ginuiness. This is right on time Lisa! This is something I've been struggling with for years just like many others. Since I've started truly understanding and taking the steps to change my mindset, I keep getting confirmations everywhere I turn that it's time to make the shift into better health and better choices. I realize my health doesn't just affect me and my body, but also everyone in my life as well as the goals and dreams I have set in place. Thank your for your obedience and guidance! My spirit always connects with you and it's not by chance I came across your videos. I'm glad you are here to help me along my journey to success and greatness! Yes YES!

[@evalinebeaird2603]

Shift you Mindset to Achieve Better Health Lisa OMG! you were speaking directly to me it was almost like you read my mind. People don't believe me when I would say I gained weight because of getting to much attention from men and I didn't know how to handle it. If I gained weight the fine guys wouldn't try to holla. It didn't stopped the older ones. Basically I continued gaining more and more weight as I got older due to an medical condition that probably in hind sight saved my life. Every time I say yes when I wanna say no. I eat and drink so the pounds continue adding up My highest weight is 260 I'm only 5'4". I am ready to deal with the questions and answers regarding my weight gain. My only adult son threatened to stop speaking to me if I didn't take my health more serious. I got very defensive and said I don't care but inside I almost died. I was so out of control. After having a Lisa Nichols KZbin marathon this past weekend. I made a decision to take back my life. I must admit it seems overwhelming because all the major areas of my life are out of balance. My Relationship with money, Family & Friends Relationship, Career. The only area in my life that has been consistent is my spirituality. I started doing 10 day smoothie challenge to assist with changing my eating habits. I am happy to report even though Ive been craving a friend chicken leg like nobody's business. Interestedly, I haven't craved alcohol. Usually when I'm stressed my go to foods are hot wings and bourbon and ginger beer not having a craving for alcohol is huge for me. Thanks for allowing me to share. You are God sent Thank you for sharing your story of faith with us.

[@shannonscruggs-allen3607]

Whew, GURL! Your words "kept the weight on to be accepted by other women" (paraphrased) sure did ring a bell with me!! ....ho, I could go into so much more detail, here but will refrain in this public forum. --Just know I will be journaling on this topic as this is a very healing topic for me that I've needed to bring front and center for a long time. But THANK YOU for making me face this!! I listen to your KZbin's many morning's before work to get my brain woke up withenlightening and meaty substance. Just love, Love, LOVE you, your heart, the Holy Spirit --"Source"-- thru you, AND your journey. You have and continue to be SUCH an inspiration to me. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your tenacity, allllll the work you have created shared and put online for people. You are such a blessing to so many. Mwah!! ~S

[@hmd2434]

I almost cried. God bless you all. The ending with the psychological jacket is something we can all relate too. Powerful. Inspirational. Thank you Lisa Nichols.

[@mickeeia]

Lisa, I could relate to all of it!!! My eyes cry the tears still..When you said in your twenties you were not mature enough to handle things of intimacy ...that was me. I too, only did what I did because I didn't know what to do. I was lost. I'm still a work in progress. I think you are wonderful motivation for me..Thank you!

[@tyannabrowne1738]

This video spoke to me in a way that I didn't realise it would. It's been years that I've been protecting myself from pursuing my full potential. I literally had a "Breakthrough out loud" when I realised that I'm fearful of greatness, because I don't know if I'll be accepted by people around me. I fear being whole! This video had my in tears because I realised that I need to go after greatness unapologetically. Love you Lisa, God bless❤

[@rahea7]

I'm currently on a body transformation journey, and have struggled with continues self sabotage when it came to my body/dreams. There is that fear of success in any area of my life hanging over my head that keeps me complacent in my life when my souls been clear that we were made for more. Lisa's videos and books are guiding me through this journey of releasing fear, negative beliefs systems that do not serve me, and living in my true authentic self. My weight has been a issue ever since my father left because I found I would eat my feelings and pain instead of crying because my mom didn't allow it. There was never a moment to mourn my relationship with my father so I ate to find comfort and solace. Then later my body became a way that I could keep be respected. I wasn't about looks and beauty which was everything my mom was about. I could be accepted as a scholar and not discredited because I was beautiful so I used me weight to hide. Now I am 22 and I want to thank my body and apologize to it, and ask God for help throughout this journey. This isn't a weight loss journey but a 360 degree total transformation and I thank Ms. Nichols for her guidance throughout this way. I need more woman healers and teachers like her in my life.

[@oluwafunmikeani5514]

Yes Lisa, you are truly MY SISTER IN PROSPERITY. I divinely stumbled on you on KZbin about 6 or so years ago when I had to take an unpleasant but necessary detour on my life journey. Those your lessons about SELF TALK IN FRONT OF A MIRROR DAILY TO FORGIVE THE FAILED ME AND PERMIT THE PRESENT ME TO LIVE AGAIN, did wonders for my soul and helped me brave the storm that ragged all around me till there was calm.... Now today I am getting to understand why I also "got a jacket" for so long, now I can understand the recent urge to release the "great little girl" that I locked up for almost 3 decades now to protect her from her lack of abilities to navigate the terrain. Now the jigsaws are coming together.... Now I know better and it's time to let the prisoners go free, it's time to embrace and unleash what God made for the sake of the purpose attached. Yes Lisa, MY LIFE PURPOSE REQUIRES MY HEALTH, MY WELLNESS AND MY INNER WHOLENESS. Thank you for "DOING ONLY YOU"😂😘

[@gracieful2020]

Wow this message hit home. I love the graditude for how your body has served you. I never approached by weight loss in that manner. It has always been, you need to change because you are not good at this size or weight. Deep down inside this weight has served a purpose, and now I am ready to live life another way. You are right you can not diet and exercise excess weight away, it has to be released in a kind a gentle way. You have to be able to see yourself differently. I was doing really well with the process when I stopped weighing myself, and focused on the non scale victories of the process. I had many to focus on, but I recently got curious and jumped on scale. I was not to happy with the number, and then I became the number. I have been repeating the number in my head like a mantra, and it was holding me back. I am now working on getting mentally back on track, and this episode has really helped.

[@tb9375]

You know what hit me the most? That I am finally feeling a part of this tribe, starting with you and your honesty. You just may be my long lost sister. You never know. I've never...EVER left one of your videos feeling lacking anything. God Bless you. Basically just for being you. Please don't cry:) you make me cry when you do. My sister, my friend...I send love.

[@reverseosmosis1484]

Being able to say, “Thank you”, to the jacket, was mind changing for me. Self hatred and self rejection have been my constant friends from the age of three, when the molestation and rape started happening. You have helped me so much. I will tell you more when we meet, but THANK YOU! Thank you for teaching me how to love myself and accept my Divinity. Thank you for teaching me how to see and think in the middle of too much familiarity. Thank you for loving yourself out loud and loving me. I believe you and I thank you for believing in me when I did not have the strength to face me! Thank you, I LOVE YOU!

[@donitapackard5147]

OMG! This came at a time when I just needed it. I was wearing my Jacket for 17 years without realizing I was doing it in contempt of myself! I stopped valuing myself and everyone else and everything else around me. Thank you for bringing this to my notice. I would love to know how to love myself all over again! Thank you again Lisa.

[@fayerenna2633]

I have made your videos my daily habit!! I have yo-yo'd my weight for so many years.. I was doing really well recently and then I got my diagnosis of fibromyalgia and put on 20 pounds. I have listen to this particular video five times, And then today started taking notes. I have realized it's not where I am today at the age of 52. That I have to go backwards and understand that the false victories I was thinking is still covering my life. I am ready to surrender!! #BOL God bless you!!

[@gastrobypasssurgerypatient9638]

Thank you Lisa, your words have gone deep into my hiding places and I want you to know I see the light! Thank you!

[@amberforbes5348]

Self healing and forgiving yourself, for the things you done in the past. Releasing all the pain and hurt. We all go through some kind of struggle in life, where we repeat bad habits because of the familiarity and that's all we ever known. I believe you must go through those things to achieve a healthy mindset because that's when you being to know your worth.

[@chellywhit]

This made me think about my journey and be grateful for where I am.

[@HermeticG]

Thank you for sharing. I took off a "jacket" and put a new one on before I realized it. Learning what I need to give myself takes consistency.

[@SavvyCoolCo]

Lisa, thank you so much for always speaking from your heart! I've discovered you last year, and I'm grateful for the Devine Appoinment and your Devine Annointment! I've been a single mom raising my daughter without my family in Japan for 24 years, so I totally understand how you've become an overcomer! You are my great role model, sister Lisa! I believe that many times our passions were born and delivered from our “labor pains” while we may have to go through some struggling or even suffering stages in our lives. For an example, I went to college for Fine Arts, but I've been a fitness professional for 24 years. My passion was born as my daughter was born in 1989! I gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy, then 2 years later, I ended up gaining 80 lbs before I was a pregnant. I thought I was a healthy eater, but I struggled to lose my unhealthy weight and to manage physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. I still remember that one day I was staring myself in the mirror, and I didn't see myself. I felt miserable and felt hatred toward myself while looking at myself. I felt in my heart that was not true me! I felt Someone planted a seed of faith (even though it was like a ”mustard seed” size) and gave me a tremendous encouragement that I can turn back. I don't have to keep going toward the deadend. People had suggested me to go to a counselor back then. I believe now that I was suffering from depression after pregnancy and being far from my family in Japan, but I didn't realize it. My desperation became my motivation. I gave myself a realistic goal to lose 80 lb within 2 years because I gained that much in 2 years. I started doing exercise with fitness TV program everyday even through I could only do 15-min. Then after a month or so, I was able to workout for 30-min. Then I joined a local health club in Wisconsin, doing cardio and weightlifting 4 days a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday/Sunday. I never missed this routine for 2 years, and I lost over 80 lbs and went back to the same weight when I was 19 years old! My passion grew and wanted to help others like me, and I decided to become a Group Fitness Instructor. First, I was rejected by my favorite instructor that I had taken her classes for 2 years. She told me that I was not qualified because I don't have an appropriate degree. After I went home, I cried out loud (COL BEFORE BOL) But my passion born from my suffering didn't want me to give up on helping others achieve their fitness goals! So I asked her boss to train me. She said, yes! Yes, I can do it! Another Devine Appointment! After I moved to Minnesota, I joined Life Time. I've been fitness professional 24 years ago. Although I always had my career in web/graphic design in marketing and communications, with grace if God, now I'm a Studio Manager managing Group Fitness, Cycle and Yoga program with over 30 talented instructors and teachers as well as teaching 6 fitness classes per week. Last year I've celebrated my 20th anniversary at Life Time. I believe God turned my ashes to beauty in His timing! When we go through suffering, we don't always know why things happen, but when we trust God and have faith and start taking care of our body as a temple, our sacred house of our heart, mind, soul and spirit, we gain our true unselfish love toward ourselves and start realizing our lifetime responsibilities. I hope my story will encourage some of your followers. May God plant a seed of faith in your heart as well to bear fruits in your life! Love always. Eriko Grill (@ErikoGrill_FitPro)!

In tears because I had to find the cause. Now seeing the why can take me to acting in the I am worthy of the results of being healthier and my kids will follow from what I established. Yes yes

[@dr.phaty_bee]

This episode made me cry 😭 .. I have been over weight since I was 10years old now it’s 2 decade . In 2009 I lost my mother in my arms and I took it as a change to lose all the weight but in 2012 I added it all back because I had not healed my mindset.. but as I began my self love journey in May 2020 ... I have built my inside voice ... I tuned the volume up so loud for me ... and I began my weight loss journey again .... I am so grateful to be part of your tribe... I am so grateful ... thank you Lisa ... as i am walking on this journey I can feel you holding my hands through it all...

Lisa is da bomb

[@KK-gi3wt]

Lisa Nichols I love this video of truth. Thank you for your vulnerable side. The part I needed to hear is you are in the place you need to be. I gained 50 pounds in five years , I took so ill I could not get out of bed, I was not able to finish university, I got to the point where I had cognitive dissonance with so many parts of my life. I was with a man who was kind yet emotionally disconnected and discarded me when I had any personal emotional needs. I had children with chaos and trauma and disabilities.My body said enough and shut completely down. I now am getting divorced, letting my children ride the way with their chooses and I have invested in understand my own health and needs. I felt like such a failure for so many years as I was a trainer and going to school for social work and now I felt like a fraud. I now know that it was what I needed to help me grow to understand others and their needs. It lead me to you and to not watch t.v. Life is slowly growing the way I need it to now.

[@kirkthomas2729]

I can't say I stumbled across this video because I didn't. However, I had no intention on watching it in its entirety, but I thank God I did! What I learned is that the ego is not all bad. There may be times when I don't want to ask for help when needed because I think doing so will tarnish the image that I attempt to project. I have some work to do in that area. I do know that asking for help requires humility. One of the things I liked best about this video was your sincerity and you ability to be totally transparent. Admitting your own struggles helped me to understand that you're a truly genuine individual. Thanks for being courageous enough to allow us to see you!

[@vedababe123]

YANA "I was not sexually mature enough to handle how the attention I received throughout my 20's". I have come a long way in forms of being able to handle the attention now. In my teens and early 20's I didn't know how to process the responses I would get. I too put on a 80+ "coat" on as I tried to distance myself from the uncomfortable awkwardness I was feeling. I am happy to report that I am now down 50 lbs and staying steady on my journey to releasing my fabulous, brilliant and abundant light that I know to be me that has been hiding on the inside. Lisa thank you for sharing your journey, truths, and knowledge with the world. I am so blessed to have first seen you on the Steve Harvey show. You're journey and determination helped spark my change to "not ask for permission". That it's okay to give yourself 1000 seconds chances and to press reset at 999. I love you and all that you do. Thank you for all of your sacrifices that you make as you share your knowledge, love and truth with the world.

[@fifonow5108]

I watched this video so long ago, now I share it with others that need to hear it. I STILL cry every time I watch it....... this video began my own amazing transformation! Thank You Lisa! We Love You Too!

[@ronnieveronique8564]

Hi..my 'moment' was when you said 'your unhealthy weight is what allows you not to show up completely.' THANK YOU.

[@sweetpotatoepieeee]

#BOL I needed to hear that you are waiting to come home and be the person that you've always been!

[@nomalanga]

What a wow! Thank you Lisa. This video touched the core of my soul. I am ready to take off this 80kg armour jacket, I've been carrying for the past 4 years. I have allowed other people's perception of me to rule my emotions and I have allowed myself to second guess myself when I know my true worth. My constant need to escape my current work environment with no luck has lead me to finding comfort in unhealthy eating behaviour. The more I behave this way the more frustrated I feel towards myself and I spiral more out of control. I am done with this unhealthy lifestyle. From here on I am working on being consistent and celebrating micro wins. I am ready to meet my true self, thank you my body for carrying me through this period of my life. I am ready to surrender in order to achieve my greatness.

[@ChocolateDL2006]

This one hit home for me (truthfully so many of your videos do). I made myself into a stereotype...constantly seeking love from others and bringing 6 children into this world. I allowed myself to gain weight with each pregnancy not trying to lose the weight and hear I sit about 40 pounds heavier than my last pregnancy, 53 years old and unhappy. I've allowed the stress of my life to take over and now my body is turning against me...muscle spasms, boils, aches and pains. I want to thank you because this gave me by BOL today! May you continue to be blessed to help others!

[@charisseglenn9208]

In my moment of watching this video. I realized that you are me and I am you. We are one for real for real. My great grandmother said to my mother on her death bed. Baby always remember different faces same ole thang. Well I will be 53 years young on the 7th of February. I have had some chapters in my life and in this moment your video was confirmation to me that I have shifted my mindset for the better in so many ways. My health being one. When people see me, no one sees the pain I am in 24 hrs a day on the inside from several different issues. I also KNOW that I am one of Gods Favorites. I am a Servant Leader who has a Masters Degree in Management with a concentration in Organizational Leadership and Change. I have not used my degree since I received it. I made a commitment to spreading Love beginning in 2019 to ALL that God puts into my path. I have watched you for several years and your journey. I am very very GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU for being WHO and WHOSE you are. Thank you Ms. Lisa Nichols you are ONE OF THE GOOD ONES.

[@goddessrenee]

I’m 63 Lisa. This brought me to tears. Literally balled. I was repeatedly raped in my first marriage. My second marriage ended after my husband was unfaithful and was arrested having an affair with our babysitter. I blame my weight gain on midlife. I don’t binge eat but I fear there’s a deep emotional pain there and my therapist had diagnosed me with PTSD. I listen to you daily and you’re an incredible inspiration to me. This video though...wow.

[@libbyburns966]

“My body brought that attention that brought me pain” So I now realise by putting on my new “jacket “ I was safe and was never going to have to experience that rejection and disgust ever, ever, again. BOL 🥲 I’m crying right now coz I’ve finally realised why I haven’t been able to shine and show off my true beauty on the inside and outside. Thank you Lisa you are like the sister I’ve never had 🥰😊 Wow for 17 years I have been carrying that heavy yucky jacket. Wow I’m so excited to see what will come next once I return the old in for the new!!! Yeeehah! Here I come ! Look out world I’m coming out to beam ALL of me 💖🌈💕

What is beautiful about you physical change is you can see how much you have grown to love yourself and that is beautiful. That has inspired me with my health issues.

"I am the beauty that takes my breath away!" that was my ah-ha. I appreciate your struggle, your wisdom, your generosity, and the grace you show us, through lived experience, to show ourselves. Thank you!

[@itssricaa96]

Wow ! This one definitely made me emotional and a big cry baby ! 😢 I love what you said at the end about knowing that you deserve to be the best version of you .. and that our new person is practically waiting on us .. That touched me and it definitely was my BOL moment ! I know this was geared towards being unhealthy as far as weight gain .. but I took that as a inner healing concept .. I am personally not overweight but I still felt that I learned a lot of valuable lessons from this video .

[@lauraramosdelgado]

Lisa. I'm crying with you girl. BOL You just made me realize something that I never thought was THAT. I'm not comfortable yet to share it here but I want to publicly recognize that your wisdom opened the door to a healing I NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW. Thank you for being a big sister.

[@KimberlyWilsonEOblessings]

This is what I needed today. Weight isn't my struggle - but the fear of losing people and the search for acceptance certainly is. Even saying "weight isn't my struggle" makes me want to put (please don't judge me) after it, because so many times the fact that I'm not overweight actually leaves me out because people are jealous of me or think I'm stuck up. I was anorexic as a teenager, weight was a big issue for me for many years - just in the keeping it off side, not the losing it aspect. Regardless, I've largely moved on from the obsession over my weight and yet I still see myself struggling to hold onto who I am in the midst of other's opinions. I embrace depression and poverty because it makes me more acceptable, relatable and less imposing. I feel like I lose friends and people distance themselves from me when I start winning and life is going well - like they think I'm "better than them". This video is such a huge help to me because I realize it's the same concept at work - if I can look deeply at what got me here and why I do and feel what I do, I can thank it and take off the "jacket". Thank you Lisa! You are such an empowering mentor for me. Blessings.

[@sandrachery7179]

Woo! So many #BOL moments. I put on a 130 lbs jacket because I was hurting on the inside because I let my husband ignored me emotionnally and sexually for nearly 8 years in a 9 year marriage. I have put up with this relationship for too long and for the oh! so wrong reasons. I have now walked out of that marriage a year ago and I am slowly gaining back ownership of my body and my health...Thxs Lisa for sharing with us your personal story like a friend and a sister would do! #YANA

[@AllAboutEveWebTV]

I can attest to what you are saying Sandra. Yes, let me tell you, the wrong man in your life can cause emotional stress which leads to us as women overeating, or sometimes just not taking care of ourselves. Honey, I let someone go in my life and it was the BEST THING I EVER DID! I MEAN THE WEIGHT FELL OFF, MY HAIR STOPPED FALLING OUT AND KEEPS GROWING TILL THIS DAY! Listen you focus on you, no one else (well your children of course) but trust me, the right person for you is out there! I am so happy with my relationship now but way back then...it was awful. NOW years later...nothing but BLISS! THE JACKET IS THE HURT. Take that jacket off and SHINE, SHINE, SHINE! You are a beautiful Queen!

[@DjNN01]

Congrats, you are my muse! You are so worthy of much more, I wish you abundant love energy and a wealth of holistic prosperity, your testimony is my confirmation, I'm not crazy and I'm not incorrect in my assessment over this past year and you have helped me wipe the rose colored glasses of emotional conflict I've battle with my husband between values and love, I gained over 80lbs with my last pregnancy over the past year and I have lost 30lbs so far, I suffered greatly from low self-esteem and I almost forgot, "Who the fux I am!" Beating back the beast of post-partum depression, Lisa Nichols helped me find my way back home and #BOL, I just recently freed my emotional cord ties and attachment to the ideal that I can not raise this baby alone again, I'm a failure again, my baby won't be raised with her dad again as my first two, I thought you were smarter, why did you not listen to your intuition, how you pick this kind of a person, she helped me release the "victim vixen right on up out of my psyche, I evicted her and she is no longer welcome in my spiritual temple, I realized God made no mistakes and I'm worthy of love, grace and 999 chances towards my journey of redemption! I am loved and wonderfully made on purpose with a purpose for a purpose🙏🏾I wish you the best, thank you for sharing your testimony SisStar💫

[@lashandraarmour7240]

Hi Beloved, I needed to hear this, it touched my soul in such a way that it forces me to look at my own emotional state, because i have a jacket over 80 pounds that i have allowed to be my security blanket for over 8 years, I used this as a crutch because the pain of abuse, and being abandoned by the man i thought was supposed to be my husband and then loosing so much of myself because of that failed relationship, and here i am now trying to find my stable ground again has been one of the hardest things i had to face, so food become my comfort to soothe me in the midst of my storms, but today you are helping me look deeper within, so thank you Lisa for choosing to share you.

[@manareldirais]

Lisa, I am not sure if you were sent specifically for me, or is it that I changed my way of thinking and now the universe sends your videos to me in a way that makes them fit my state of mind. every time I think of something, and I get to know myself more, and I start to ask questions, then you release a new video, and I watch it like you are speaking directly to me, I kid you not, I feel like these videos were made for me, like you know I am watching and you want me to see it. I always knew I was going to be something big, I just didn't know where, how, what or when, and I feel these videos are for me to lead me to my big thing. Lisa, please remember this comment, because I will remind you of it one day. I will talk about how your videos were my support through my journey. Thank you today, and I will thank you later.

[@DjNN01]

Thank you Lisa, I have listened to this video over and over, what resonated with me, my #BTOL! What do I need? What emotional cord ties must I heal and release? "I have been searching and asking for and wishing to be loved by people I love with the depth that I love, treat me the way I treat you, honor me as I do you, fight for me, go hard for me! I realize my crippling childhood ideal attachments of love has allowed me to accept outside love through the eyes of what they valued and not my own virtues and values. It's taking so many gifts wrapped in sand paper for me to realize I am no rug or door mat. I now know my value and worth confidently so that I'm no longer afraid to walk onto my path alone even if I fail forward🙌🏾Can I say, "I love you!" Thank you for your testimony because I see and believe how Great I am! I'm Enough😻

#YANA - Wanted other women to "like" me. Wanted not to be a "threat" to anyone. Shifting my mindset that my health is my self-love. I think somewhere deep down, that I have walked around with hurt because a "boy" like me over a friend, and I lost that friend and I no longer want to loose friendships. SMH.

[@user-gi8tf5zm4v]

Hi Lisa thank you for this video once again there are some awesome nuggets in it. Spirit is moving and I AM GRATEFUL your video reinforced that message. Yes getting your mind right is paramount. Getting our minds right is about shedding not only the weight but the mindset that lets us make choices like putting on weight to avoid the uncomfortable parts of life. Losing the weight is only part of it but there are so many layers of emotion under the emotions you mentioned. Like you the gifts I have been blessed with are for sharing love and light with the people. I have a message from Spirit for you about the next level of being who YOU are to share with YOU. I have made so many changes since FFF and yes stepping out of the shadows is part of it and why I am making a comment, thank you for offering me the space to express myself. I have your books and was part of the 0NLY FFF Zoom group you popped into and came and said hi to us on our video call. You have even answered me on fb in messages and I am grateful, Spirit has put me in your tribe..(there is a story to that I cant wait to tell you) Lawd when Spirit is on a charge caint (yes I said caint) no one get in the way!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you Spirit I am GRATEFUL. I know Spirit will let me deliver your message when you will be able to hear it. I have asked Spirit for patience, wisdom, compassion, kindness and understanding as blessings in this life and I KNOW Spirit will connect us so I can deliver its message to you. I love you and wait upon Spirit to do its bidding. I am your and Spirit's humble servant.

[@oliviabellard2018]

OMG!!! Thank you thank you thank you Lisa! This was phenomenal! The best part for me was when you mentioned the how you were struggling with being ok with you body in your twenties and the attention it was getting you; and how by gaining the weight, you got less attention from men and more female friends. THAT SPOKE VOLUMES! Although I am not currently struggling with my weight, I am in my late twenties and I am learning to love my curves regardless of the attention received or not received. I am also learning to be patient in waiting for the positive female friendships that have yet to manifest. Thank you teaching me that it is ok to have BOTH a positive body confidence AND a positive female friendships. Thank you and God Bless! :D

[@yvonnedavenport9896]

Thank you Lisa for allowing God to use you to TRANSFORM my mindset. Stay encouraged!

[@saranemoy7754]

I was looking for someone like you and a place like this. No expectations, though. What it calls my attention of what you said, it's that I have been fighting my body (mostly my weight, my lack of beauty, now my "oldness") for decades, and just now, listening to you, I realized that I have to go deep to the core where this ungratefulness and hate comes from. I have to go to my mindset and see what is there, in what emotion is my self esteem sitting, what is going on in that esencial part of my 380 degree me. Just yesterday I was listening to some old clips from you, where you were explaining some exercises to begin loving yourself. Every day you were saying to yourself: Lisa, today I am proud of...;...Lisa, today I forgive you for...; Lisa, I commit I commit to... I'll try that. I need to restore my self love. Thanks, Lisa.

[@latonyanoel-wilburn4093]

I just now saw this video and it touched me in a place that was so deep. Thank you for giving me permission to embrace my body where it is and has been for over twenty years; thank you to my body for giving me what I needed but now expressing with gratitude that I am now ready to shed the winter cloak (extra pounds I've been wearing). This message was shared with me by a person whom I told that I felt my body had forsaken me because I had been doing all the things I was told to do (work out 5 days a week, eat healthiest, walk 5 miles daily, don't drink soda, your caloric intake should be less than what you are burning each day...) But I was not loosing any weight. In listening to you I was reminded to my renew mind. Thanks again for allowing yourself to be a blessing through your story.

[@marytiglao5646]

You made me realize the reason for not being consistent in taking good care of myself especially on being fit. That struck me like lighting that I need to ask myself what started it. I've been putting myself aside and always putting others before me and this has to stop. I cannot give what I do not have and it's time for me to love me. Thank you Lisa. You are a blessing! Love you!

I just want to thank you Lisa.. actually I'm slim but I have literally put on oversized jackets and shirts for so many years to cover my body. I used to try to convice myself that it was just my style. Today, listening to your testimony, I realized that it is a jacket I needed till now to be in a comfort zone to hide my body from the hurt I was done when I was a kid and a teenager. You're helping me to stop running away from myself and start accepting me first and ask for help! I thank this jacket I'm wearing but i will let it go little by little... Thank you Lisa, you have definitely changed my life!!!

[@Teaj26]

This is my truth, this jacket is heavy and gets heavier every day Lisa. It's amazing to hear you say these things because it feels so true to me. I have been hurt for so long and so broken. I've found myself going to the refrigerator and not even wanting to go not wanting to continue in this mess. Knowing that my body deserves more that I crave for more and I want to be fit but it's so hard. Thank you for always sharing your life experiences with us. I found you about a week ago August 2018 and wow, you inspire me, I have been binge watching you. I appreciate you and relate to so much of what you say.
