  Speaker 1: What up, bruh? I'm Matt Shepard of Meet Matt Shep,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and this is Psych2Go. As we ring in the new year,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: everyone's thinking about things they need to do in the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: coming year that they didn't do the year previously. One
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: resolution that people are always making, it's on the TV,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: it's on billboards, it's on the radio. It's everywhere. How
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to lose weight.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: If you're trying to lose weight, this.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Is how you do it.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Eat less.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We're having a low carb, low carb war. exercise, high protein,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the mediterranean diet, the ketosis within, eat your food slowly. Soulbound, willbound.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Just saying guys that it's important that you exercise, right?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: No pressure guys. I think I need some water. Maybe
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a protein bar.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'm no doctor, I'm just somebody who has their own
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: experience around weight loss. In fact, I used to weigh
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: 340 pounds. Yep, that's right, that's me. I got into
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: recovery 10 years ago from an eating disorder. I personally
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: struggle with binge eating disorder. In the United States alone,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: over 20 million women and 10 million men will suffer
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: from a significant eating disorder in their life. That could
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: include anorexia, bulimia, as well as binge eating disorder. The
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: points that I wanna make today have Not so much
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to do just with eating disorders, but just with the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: mentality that we all have around weight loss in general.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: If they lose the weight, then they're going to be happy.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: If that brand new car, if I met the right person,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: because the truth is the most important weight that I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: ever needed to really lose was all the weight that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was in my head that was holding me back and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: holding me down from really knowing myself for who I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: really am. So regardless of whether you're trying to lose
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: weight for the new years or not, I got a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: couple points that I would just like to share with
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you that have helped me as I've lost the weight
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and then realized what I was really looking for. I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: am not my weight. I intrinsically have value regardless of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what weight I am. If I'm looking to build my self-esteem,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be through being at a healthy body weight.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Self-esteem is gonna come from me doing esteemable acts. If
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I see an old lady crossing the street, I'll help
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: her cross the street. Call a friend up and you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: let them know how much you care about them. Do
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the dishes for your mom when she wants you to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: do the dishes. When I was willing to do esteemable acts,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I started to find real genuine self-esteem that wasn't determined
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: by any other person. Connecting with others. One way that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: we move through our life is through connecting with other people.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And that is some of the heaviest weight that I've
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: ever felt in my life is the weight of feeling
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like I was alone in the world. My feelings aren't fact.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They're not going to last forever. And one of the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: most important things I can do is to allow myself
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to feel whatever I'm feeling and move through it. Also
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: for me, a diet mentality doesn't work because it either
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: means that I'm doing something right or I'm doing something wrong.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: My sense of self-worth does not need to be derived
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: from whether I'm eating a certain way or not. What
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I believe is important is that we eat in a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: way that is healthy for our body, which we each
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: have to determine for ourselves. And with all the New
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Year's resolutions that are out there, it's really important that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: we stop and ask ourselves, what are we really looking for?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: With a commitment to honor ourselves, our body, our mind,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and our spirit. If you like this video, give it

  Speaker 1: weight we have to let go of.
