Brian, Thank you for posting this. I know that it took a lot of courage and was not easy. But our darkest secrets can be our best gift to others. You aren’t alone in your experiences. You are just one of the few who have been brave enough to share it. And now others will be helped.

I am so proud of you and Carrie for sharing your struggles. And we all have them. And I appreciate how you share the difference between being “fit” and healthy. As a Fitness Coach, of course I like the whole athletic, fitness side of things. It is something I enjoy. But there is taking that to an extreme also, as you know. It is all about balance. And I wish you all the success in maintaining that balance in your life. And you are right, we need to be more compassionate. We never know the struggles others are facing. Thank you again for your courage and transparency. That is where true healing begins.
