Life is not always easy, surely when we come to find ourselves at the lowest; it is then that we need self-confidence and self-esteem. Since circumstances, situations or problems in our existence arise, knocking us off balance with a feeling of disarray, sometime in panic, and leaving us wounded, at times to the core.
- The document describes a study investigating the relationship between dieters' body image and childhood attachment experiences.
- Participants will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire about their demographics, body image, and childhood attachment. Completion of the questionnaire is expected to take about 10 minutes.
- Participation is voluntary and participants' data will remain anonymous and confidential. Participants may withdraw from the study at any time without justification.
1) Getting six-pack abs alone will not significantly increase a man's chances with women. Personality traits like being funny, supportive, and kind are more important.
2) The author recalls only one time when his wife was attracted to his abs. Other qualities like being a good partner and father were more important.
3) A survey found that while some women find abs attractive, they are not a requirement. Personality, face, and a moderate muscular physique were more important factors for women.

The document details a student's experience with developing bulimia nervosa during their freshman year of high school. They began dieting but it was not fast enough, so a friend suggested making themselves vomit to lose weight quicker. They lost over 80 pounds that year but were still unhappy. During a church trip, verses from the Bible made them realize God saw their inherent worth and beauty. They sought help from friends, accepted God, and are now recovering through faith, support systems, and focusing on inner beauty rather than physical appearance.

Holding on to your identity during a transitionLynette Crane
The document discusses dealing with transitions and changes in identity. It describes how the author struggled after having to stop her career as a ballet dancer, as that role had come to define her identity. However, a friend pointed out that she was a person, not just a dancer, and that her qualities would allow her to find new ways to express herself. The author realized she enjoyed performing, costumes, movement, and sharing her experiences. This led her to a new career as a professional speaker, allowing her to continue expressing those qualities through motivational speeches. The document advocates taking stock of one's strengths during transitions and finding new roles that allow those talents to be explored.

2. Do you ever find in life that people are quick to
talk about themselves? A simple “How are things
with you?” – and they are off and running about
everything from their kids latest award to how
they were recently recognized at work for a
project that exceeded the boss’s expectation. And
why wouldn’t they?
3. When we do something we are proud of, or
overcome an obstacle we want to tell others!
Sometimes because the recognition is nice, or
someone else’s opinion validates our own feeling
of accomplishment, or in many cases, it is to
encourage someone else in the midst of their own
challenge. To say, ‘I did it and so can you!’
So why would someone who had an impressive
accomplishment NOT share it with others?
4. This is a question I was recently posed concerning my
health and fitness journey.
A few months back on multiple occasions in
conversations (both online and in person)
I casually mentioned that I had lost 100 pounds, and
the response was “Whoa- I had no idea you used to be
that heavy!
I thought you were just a fitness guy who workouts
with Tony Horton on QVC and is in the INSANITY®
DVDs with Shaun T.
5. Why don’t you talk about your
transformation more often?”
6. Great question I thought. Why DON’T I talk more
about my entire journey?
It wasn’t that I consciously avoided telling people
that I used to be 100 pounds heavier.
If anything you think I would brag about it all the
time, to the point people would say, “Jimmy! We
GET IT you used to be a chunky monkey!
Congrats, now Shut up about it!”
7. But the more I thought about it I realized that my
choice to be a Team Beachbody Coach, and the
public forum of having personal relationships
with celebrity trainers – I felt some self-imposed
pressure to become some kind of fitness icon for
others.
8. Someone who was always disciplined, always made
the right choice, eliminated excuses in others by
not having any of his own.
I also realized that I still carried a lot of shame
around from my previous life.
I hated ‘Fat Jimmy’ so much that I didn’t want any
kind of association with him or that part of my life.
9. But I realized I was doing a
HUGE disservice to those I
was trying to help by NOT
sharing my story.
People needed to know where
I started from, so they could
say, “You felt that way when
you were heavy too? I
Me at 250 pounds in a thought I was the only one.”
college theater
production.
10. It wasn’t something I quickly embraced. But more
and more I tried to remember how I felt in that
body that carried 100 more pounds of fat and a
1000 more pounds of fear, guilt, stress, and
isolation.
I needed to let you know about the days I would
stare at myself shirtless in the mirror and be
disgusted, and feel hopeless like this mountain
was too hard to ever climb – so why even get
started?
11. But I had to get over my ego and my shame because
YOU needed to hear this. You needed to know
that the beginning of any new journey seems
daunting and impossible. You need to know that I
was scared of failing AGAIN after failing so many
times before.
And WHY do you need to know these
things????
12. Because your past DOES NOT define your future!
Because you ARE NOT alone in this journey!
I boldly say to you: That if I, a lifetime fat guy full
of fear, guilt, shame, and excuses can pick himself
up, find the right plan, with the right support and
succeed – SO CAN YOU!!!
13. If I have learned anything, it is that if someone has
done something before you- GOOD NEWS- that
means you can do it to!
It’s just a matter of finding out what they did, how
they did it, and applying those same steps – one at
a time- to your own life.
14. So for those of you that see me smiling thru those
crazy Shaun T squats in the INSANITY® DVDs ,
know that guy is smiling for a reason!
The journey was filled with lots of ups and downs,
but I overcame with the help of others and you can
do the same because I am here to share my
struggles, lock arms, and take the journey all over
again with you!
In this together- Coach Jimmy
15. Jimmy Hays Nelson Beachbody Coach is a self-
proclaimed ‘former fat guy’. In his mid 20’s he was an
overweight college dropout, who found himself living back
at home with his parents. Knowing something had to
change, he took action.
Through his transformation journey he lost 100 pounds,
started his own business, was featured in the Shaun T
workout series INSANITY, and has been seen multiple
times on QVC with his buddy Tony Horton promoting
P90X.
He founded NELSONGY FITNESS with his wife
Kelly to reach out to give hope and support to those that
are dissatisfied with their current situation. Whether you
