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.
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.
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 !!!!

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
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!
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
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.
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
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!!
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
So glad you had the courage to start a new life!!! You deserve happiness and joy! You will attract the right man who will be your soulmate. Just stay true to yourself! You and God are on this journey together. Blessings always
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!
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💫
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.
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!
Hi Lisa when I say I appreciate you for making this particular video... I mean Thank You from the highest point. I have been going through a few changes in my life and my health is at the top of the list. You just confirmed everything that I have been feeling these last few months. The breakthrough #BOL moment I'm having now is the thought of my old body and why I decided to let that look go to put on this 150 lbs jacket. Today I will have a long talk with the young woman in that old body thanks to you 🙏🏾 ... Takecare of yourself and I will keep watching 🤗
This body is holding at 5'9" a pretty good sized jacket as well. It's safe though, isn't it. I've actually been a size 0. Who thought THAT existed? I've been growing...GROWING...this jacket far too long. I don't want to be a zero again, but maybe middle size? Not enough to wear a bikini but enough to wear a bathing suit and cover-up? :) sending love
Thank you, Lisa! From 10:34 "And then give yourself permission..." (until the end of the video). Aha moments for me, I appreciate you for this one. Yes YES!
Thank you Lisa for helping me to accept that I need to do the hard work -- getting to the root of the emotional why that caused me to put on my 100 pound jacket. I have attempted to eat and exercise myself to my right size body without doing the emotional hard work. I accept that I need to address past youth sexual abuse and subsequent horrible choices, I need to thank my body for enduring all I put it through, I need to forgive myself and so many others. It is only after I've done that difficult emotional work that I can begin the process of getting off the yoyo diet treadmill. I see the healthy, beautiful, and sexy Yolanda in the distance and she's beaconing me to shed this cocoon and allow her to be free. I will ask myself the questions, do the hard work, and reclaim my life. Thank you!!!💜
Hey beautiful woman! Your sincerity, light and strength shine thru and have given me the boost I needed to continue my journey to my healthier self. She has been waiting on me for 30 years and I can finally see her closer than ever. My son is a fitness buff, he was an overweight child and has conquered old habits that I encouraged, sad to say. I'm proud of his determination and so proud of myself for the changes I'm making. Thank you, Lisa for lifting me up today. 👏💗🙏
I love you energy! I want to grow with you videos! I have depression and anxiety really bad and I need videos like yours to help me on my journey of changing. Thank you for creating this channel. I am subscribed and I will be watching your videos everyday! Thanks again :)
Wow! This was so real. So real. Thank you for telling me at some point you have to get to the root address it and thank your current condition for supporting you. At that point you can truly release. I think this will work for all types of situations not just health.
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 RU-vid'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
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!
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!!
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!!!!!!!!!
My friend sent me this video in a text today telling me to watch it and man I am glad she did I have been wearing this 150 plus of jacket for a long time and I am ready to take it off your words were so inspiring and was a msg I most definitely needed to hear this journey isn't easy but I am doing my best to stay on course and removing the layers of this jacket until I unveil the person I know that's within I most definitely clicked the subscribe button thank you my sistah
I have taken opportunities and made breakthroghs in many areas but somehow the battle with weight is a ongoing struggle. confident on the outsidebut always disaapointed with myself on the inside. Taking off the jacket. Thanks for a word in due season Movingforward
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.
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❤
After I listen to the video on ego, I saw my self walking to a room of a house were I use to live in as a kid. When I walked up to the bedroom door it was a small glass window. Where I saw a version of me; no sun had shine in that room in years. She was pale, hair mattered but long. She just looked at me like she was sorry. I looked at her and was sorry too, We had a long talk but I had to let her know I was in charge moving forward. Needless to say. I moved her out of that room, into a nice luxury apartment w a beautiful view.
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 .
When God blesses you with a gift and a desriny there is no weapon formed against you that can stop your victory sister lisa you are blessed and you are a wonderful blessing God bless your beautiful heart and your unwavering spirit. You move from strength to strength in Jesus name and my good God will take you places you cant even imagine. Please continue to bless serve and bring healing to Gods children and their beautiful souls...i know that I have found an angel in you and I will never let you go. And in sating that I committ to you that I Will see you on the other side, the side of victory, success, wealth, abundance and breakthrough in Jesus name....but until then God protect, keep and guide you in all your ways...all my love...Glenda x
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.
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!!
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
OMG! Sis, you are definitely speaking to me! You're telling my story, LOL! Thank you for being so transparent. For me, I put on a 70 pound 'jacket' due to grief and anger at my self for past failures. I am so glad I am healing that, and now, I am helping others. Thanks for being you. You are truly a blessing to the world. CoachFloEnterprises.com
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you sister! I am currently in the journey of removing several jackets... I get it! they are weighing me DOWN! it's hot under all this mess!! and I can't fly. I would love to hear more about HOW to let the hurt go. I do well for the first few minutes, days... but then I have a thought that comes back and immediately I am in RESENTMENT and putting those jackets back on! with a sincere heart, I am grateful for what you are doing!
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......
#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. WOW, where did the heck that come from!!! - I thank you for this release. #BOL
Omg thank you so much. While I’m going through my weight loss journey I need to love forgive my body and love it. I need this so bad cuz it’s not easy.
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!
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.
Wow... this really hit me. This is my story.. wow... thanks so much for being sooo open to share part of the journey you have come through. I am ready to commit to shedding the baggage... thank you thank you...
Very encouraging. Thank you for your sensitivity in sharing your story. I am honored to be a part of your subscribed audience. I appreciate the countless nuggets you give especially (in my own words) "The Mindset Shift"!
Hi Lisa, I am a new viewer and you have really touched my soul. PLEASE, PLEASE ask your camera staff to cue you when they're going to change the camera angle because on the side views I hear your words but when you're facing me and talking. I feel like you really doget me.
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.
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!
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.
Hello Lisa, I relate to your story in many ways. I like the metaphor you use by considering weight as jacket that we put on. I believe that God chose you to heel so many broken souls by helping them uncovering the truth hidden in them. I believe that losing weight is more mental than physical. I can't wait to get into your weight loss program. I am tired of detox, gym at so on. But your simple words motivate me to change my perception. Thanks a lot
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!❤️
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!
Thank you. You have seamed to open my wounds I didn't know I have. I kept putting on weight, because I wanted to bee heard, not seen, I didn't wanted to be sexy, I wanted to be smart, because all these men I was involved with failed to see the beauty of me on the inside. I didn't know about all this until the tears start dropping on my laps as I watched this video, than I ran to the kitchen for the jar of peanut butter. This in uncomfortable...thank to God found you.
I have been waiting ..wanting to have this conversation with you Lisa ..Thank you so much! We have been through similar journeys. ...I am going to listen to this on repeat and really do the work to get in front of this jacket and ask her why she got here and see if she is ready to be released from her post... she has helped me feel comfortable and accepted like you said.. but there is another woman I have been waiting and want omg to meet #therealMe
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!
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
You were speaking of you, but I felt you were telling my story. I don't think I could see the healthier me, so now I have to take the time to see the healthier me and stop using my weight as an excuse not to be great.
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.
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.
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😻
Bettyboo Wow in the beginning process of my BTOL!!!!! This moment just awakened me wow,wow. What did my weight jacket represent in my life. I have been eating away through to get away from my core. I don't even know who I have become, until today. No more I want to get to know the real me. BTOL !!!!
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
Its very weird when someone else voices out loud something about you that you tried very hard not to look too closely at , because truth is we know our truth we just choose not to look at it and this is me I didn't want to seem sexual so I put the weight on I wasn't comfortable in this curvaceous body in a society that is very sexualized where girls have kids guys cheats as a way of life they have baby mamas all over and I didn't want to be a baby mama as I was the product of a man who had a kid and walked away never to come back or look me up or even keep a long distance relationship with his kid that has affected me deeply even though I pretend I don't care about any of it . Now I have a hard time figuring out how to reconcile that me who grew up with that bagage that fence i put up around myself with the me now who might want something else even now I can't even affirm it I feel so confused the pull and push away and those nagging negative thoughts that were my long time companions . I'm Working on myself I save your videos so I can listen to them regularly as a voice of positivity to counter my negativity .thank you for the work you do , I don't feel safe talking to anyone about this for fear of ridicule they'll look at me like I'm the weirdest weirdos for having the Hang ups I have and all the time I've wasted living in this mental jail of mine .
I will go and have this deep conversation as well. Perhaps though for me having 3 kids in 4 years made me just give my all to everyone telling myself that this fat body isn't mine and I will "one day" take back my real true self..instead in the last 5 years I have gained more weight so it's like you're telling yourself it I'll get better yet it gets worst. I have to find the reason/'s why and release it...thanks Lisa
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.
Lisa you are my long lost sister! You're like my twin sister that I never had. I feel so vulnerable after hearing these words from you because you just touched a place inside me that I never thought existed. I have been struggling with my weight and body confidence for over 6 years now and I blame it on all my pregnancies but today (after watching this) it just hit me that my pregnancies are not the root cause of my excess weight gain over the years. Yes! there are emotional issues tied to it #BOL So today, I am gonna sit down with a pen and a notebook, have a good long chat with myself and work on bringing out the real Leesa (that's my name) that's been waiting all these time to return home! I love you sister Lisa. You are my God sent Angel. Keep being a blessing! God Bless you and the work that you do.
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.
Hi Lisa. My name is Kim and this is my first time posting and really watching a couple of videos. I know about you but life can take a toll where I rarely sit down and take care of me. Here I am and I am so happy to be here. I have been an emotional wreck for a long time. I am one of those where people have called and talked about their issues and when I look up I can't find a soul. So tired of that and so I did have to make some serious decisions because GOD told me that its enough. The word NEED is what I just discovered for my breakthrough and then you said it as well. Finally getting to the point where fake friends say goodbye is okay. I had to learn how to figure out what the need was and why was I allowing it to just sit in my life and I have been doing better. So, my next challenge is budgeting my money. My mom abandoned us when we were young and my dad remarried. Their marriage was abusive but even with that my mom has mental issues. A long story but I am horrible with my money and I need so much help Lisa. I can read all of the help books in the world and when that need pops up then I'm buyimg things I don't need especially fast foods. its that word need that I have to carry with me to change my mindset. Lisa this isnjustbyhe beginning. Thank you for having a platform for me to open up to!!!! Love youu!
Wow this came at the perfect time as I begin a new journey for better health. Changing direction will be hard but getting out of that comfort zone that's killing me will lead me to better health so I can love myself more and embrace the true me and stop being afraid of who I am meant to be. I needed this today..
Thank you so much Lisa! You have become my answers from my Universe and I look forward to a new video of yours everyday. You are an inspirational WOMAN! Todays episode was such an insight for me. I didn't realize that my Ego was in the way of my releasing my body weight and all I have to do for now is talk to my Ego, have a conversation with it and ask it if its finally ready to let go of this protective cover its put up. #BOL girl! thank you.
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.
Wow Lisa!! I just love your work. This episode is so beautiful in so many ways, but most of all because it's still very clear to see the impact that discovery of yourself has had on you. I think for me, apart from needing to spend some time working through the questions about why I treat my body like I do at times (not that I have an 80 pound jacket I''m wearing) but there is possibly do have 20-25 pounds to comfortably shed to feel better about myself. The thing that really hit me the most, because I've been on such an intense period of time of personal growth and learning is, that it's okay to give yourself permission to get tired, to stop, to get back up and to press reset!! Every time you finish your video, I so connect to your closing words and do feel like you are speaking to me personally, because they are so authentic. Thank you so much for sharing of yourself as you so often do!
Thank you so much Lisa Nichols.... this is exactly what I needed to hear, I love how you keep it real, you always hit the heart, and my jacket has been on for a while, I'm ready to take it off and become a new version of myself, I need to heal from the inside, thank you for coming into my life at the right time. xoxo Brittiny M.
You’re incredible! I needed to hear that i could move on from the emotions and habit that are causing me to go to the fridge late at night. My boredom when not working towards my purpose leads me to eat and my disbelief in the possibility of me ever having a 6 pack has caused me to mentally stifle myself from achieving so. Thank you so much i love you!
Thank you Lisa for your transparency. I have been holding my destiny back due to my need to help someone else. I have been using the need of another person to stop me from fully living life. I realize that my true fear has always been rejection. Now, I am at a point in my life where I am ready to say YES to living. I believe and I know that I deserve major success in all areas of my life, and the key to receiving that abundance is my mindset. Once I know something to be true in my heart (subconscious mind) it MUST come to me.
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.
You are so spiritual, love you sister Thanks for sharing and being so true, it’s a pleasure listening and you always leave a positive learning for me x
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.
Thank you Lisa.. I appreciate you!!! I think this is my first time commenting.. I subscribed.. it is my community.. you're awesome.. I'm 28 and has been battling a lot of many things.. I can't even write down right now.. I'm also an artist please check me out!!! You've been helping get my music off the ground and not giving up!!! Thank you again!!!!!!
I am 2 months in on daily training . Drastic changes for me, and well... I'm so touched, I'm sobbing. The 80 lb jacket shook something in my core and it opened the flood gates. Lol. My favorite Lisa, thank you so much! 😁
Physical training, I meant. I'm doing workouts, discipline myself to. Micro win, is EXACTLY what I've been saying at the end of each one. My weight hasn't shifted but I do FEEL better. I just want the outside to match the inside. Again, thanks Lady. I hope you know you're helping people daily.
I love your transparency because that is such a hard step for me to take in my relationships. Since beginning to listen to and follow you, I find myself taking steps to be more transparent in my relationships and with myself so that I can achieve my #BOL. Thank you
