   2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I personally experienced how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️

   To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU. He wants to help you and give you peace. Please surrender your burdens to Him and allow Him to move in your life.

   "Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him;  I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 91:14-15)

   Please hold on to this bible verse because WHATEVER GOD SAYS, HE FULFILLS. 🙏

   I suffered a lot from body image issue. I went from bodybuilding to just running, yoga and still a bit of musculation. I even was a fitness and musculation teacher for many years. My point is : so many men suffer from body image issue. This is mostly because this stereotypical strong and muscled male body comes from Hollywood movies industries (particulary since the begining of the 21st century). My journey into this is very long and since I stopped going into gyms, fitness centers and stopped watching social medias and mainstream actions movies with stereotypical "strong" men, I feel much more free. Please people, cut off those toxic things because trying to fullfill this "ideal" physic is a myth and leads to nowhere except frustration, anxiety and suffering. And please stop looking at the next muscled guy, thinking "oh he is happier than me because he looks more muscular". That' s not true. Go beyond appearences and let it go about those toxic glorified behviors and standards. Even if the guy is not really unhappy, he is dependant of his muscles. So he depends a lot on those standards and on what society think about his body. That's not freedom, it's prison. Beyond this "need" to look more like this or more like this, there are unresolved things to solve. Finding soulmate, fullfilling dreams, spirituality, personnal projects, connecting with something that make sense to us… Everyone has his own journey to explore. So let's put down the weights and let's try to feel better from within first.

   Im a man, and I still battle body image issues. It started when I was 11, and then when I was 15 I started sticking my toothbrush down my throat and stopped eating regular size meals. Eventually I passed out and had to go to the hospital. Then my hair started falling out due to malnutrition and avitaminosis. So I had to cut all my hair off because it left bald patches on my head. Thankfully my hair grew back BUT it’s texture and richness isn’t the same as it use to be. It also doesn’t grow as fast as it use to.

   Now at age 27 I no longer do that stuff (partially because if I miss a meal the stomach pain is unbearable). And my whole metabolism is still effected by it, and I get tired easily as a result. I can even exercise very well because my bones are still brittle from the abuse I put my body through.

   All I can say, if you’re doing it now…PLEASE DON’T DO IT! Please Don’t starve yourself, and please don’t make yourself throw up. It’ll just make everything your feeling worse.

    I am seeing this with my fiancé these past few weeks. He is very average in his clothing size/body. He is not overweight, he is not underweight. He is healthy but not "muscular", he doesn't have a 6 pack and i noticed recently he is talking a lot about "how not muscular I am" or "why can't I get a 6 pack like this guy on Instagram" and it just breaks my heart. He is perfect to me! I love him SO much , he's a kind, caring, sweet and talented man and I just want to take his phone from him and delete Instagram for him, not everybody looks like an athlete!!!!

    How does this video have so little views? Looks like we don't care how men feel, but when a women feels something, we all turn up.

    My goodness this deserves more exposure. Having dealt with depression and anxiety, as a man I can relate to each and every word said in each of the 3 parts of this. Inspires me to keep being honest with myself and also be a sounding board for others also battling with their minds.
