In the south, your image is very important. As a man, we don’t talk about how we feel; we don’t show our emotions; & we definitely don’t ask for help. This caused me to lose track of who I was, what I was doing, & where I was going. I had no sense of direction in life. It created a man that looked happy on the outside but was self-sabotaging on the inside.
When I started my fitness journey, I tried to do it on my own. I wasn’t going to ask for anyone’s help. That Southern stubbornness held me back...because if I had asked for help, it would’ve made me vulnerable. That, in my mind, would make me look weak. And because of that stubbornness, my journey took twice as long.
After everything I’ve been through in life, I’ve found that those that seek help and are able to control/express their emotions in a healthy way are not weak but are the strongest. Don’t be like me & take twice as long to reach your goals; seek guidance & clarity; get to your goals faster! ❤️ #RealCBFit #TheFitCookLife #SouthernFit #CountryBoy #Cowboy #FatLoss #Clarity #SouthernLife #WeightLoss #FitnessAndFood #SouthernFood #PersonalTraining #Transformation #SelfGrowth #TheSouth #BodyGoals #SouthernMade
