Huge props to Will for being vulnerable and making a video on a topic that so many of us struggle with. Continuing to be an inspiration!

You know it’s real when not a single innuendo was made. Mad respect.

The audacity of that man to say it doesn't look like Will works out. Lol

i'm 30 now, used to be very obese, to the point of struggling to breath properly and walk long distances. Thanks to Will i've lost 125lbs and can now run a 5k in 20 minutes flat. I still see a fat person in the mirror, so this video hits home. Having Will talk about this is amazing. Thank you, Will

Amazing video. Hope everyone watches. We need to stop giving a shit about what people think about us.

These are the male role models needed today. Two men sitting down and taking about how they felt weak and vulnerable in the past, and how important it is to reach out for help. Well done, beautiful message!

"Do i look like i work out?" "No" Our standards are in a completely unrealistic level

Will, I wanted to say thanks for this video. All my life I’ve been unfit and overweight. I’ve never had any muscle definition, but I’ve always had a flabby chest, a bulging stomach, love handles, and fat shoulders. A few years ago, I lost my job because my weight led to a bulging disk which left me unable to perform my job duties which involved standing for long periods of time and lifting bulk size merchandise. I realized my health had fallen so far that it came to this. I felt the need to make a change and worked hard to lose 40 lbs going from 225 lbs to 185. I was still fat in my mind, but that was the happiest I felt with my own weight. In the last couple years, I pretty much gained 30 lbs back. I often feel more depressed than I did even before. My feet have been hurting for over a year and I feel like I’m back to where I was. For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been making an effort to make changes without necessarily giving up on things I love, but with moderation. I now realize that I am living my life by comparing myself to others instead of living my best life. This video is helping me to realize that this shouldn’t be about what I look like, but it should be about how I feel. Here’s to making changes to help me live a better life and doing what I love without shame. My weight loss should be about improving my health not my aesthetics, otherwise, I’ll grow to resent it.

This, without a doubt, is Will’s single most important video on his channel. I’ve lost 2 close male friends who juiced on copious amounts of gear all because of their obsession with being the “biggest person in the room” and to look scary to other men. My own sister is so dissatisfied with her physical appearance at 25, and gets botox and fillers every 6 months. She cannot even leave home to take out the trash without having make up on. Self acceptance is not easy at all. Social media has a part to be blamed. For instance, Lizzo, an influencer who supposedly preaches about body positivity, has been accused of fat-shaming her costars. You cannot trust anything you see on the internet these days.

I love it when people open up about their insecurities, it makes you realize we are all in the same boat.

As a therapist, I'm glad how much focus here is put on normalising seeking it out. That last conversation with Dr Adrian was great. Like brought up here, it's not just body dysmorphia. Could be down to trauma of bullying, abuse, etc that fuels the body dissatisfaction and fear of judgment of others.

i almost never comment on videos but this was probably the first video that has ever helped me in my struggle with body dysmorphia. I've been going to the gym with the motivation to change my body and achieve this "dream physique" despite not knowing if that is even possible for me. Instead of having the goal to be overall healthier and stronger. I have been going on and off for the last year feeling like I have made no progress, and was so hyper critical of how i looked that I was not once able to enjoy just how far I had come. Cut to yesterday, I went to the gym and a girl commented on how "fit" I looked. It just goes to show that your reality and how you view yourself may not be the same as how other people view you. Thank you for this video Will and promoting such healthy and positive messages to a world that so desperately needs it. I'm glad that someone is fearless enough to spread messages like this, and do it in a way that feels so human and relatable. Keep doing what youre doing man

I think it’s important to note that “body dysmorphia” is a term used for diagnosis. Everyone has times where they don’t like how they look. It can be a never-ending process. It becomes body dysmorphia when it REALLY interferes with your life, like, very extreme.

I can’t tell you how many times my therapists would remind me “fat is not a feeling” as I would equate feeling sad, upset, inadequate, depressed, lonely etc as feeling “fat”… I was never overweight in fact I am very much underweight… and yet I feel “fat” very often… thank you for this video… shedding light on such a prevalent issue

Wow. I finished watching your video, and I'm speechless. The way that you both guys opened and let yourself being vulnerable is the modeling that we need for men in all generations. We're all a but broken, we all have our stuff that we deal with and that should be acknowledged. But also we should try to be happier on the process because there just one today and tomorrow is gone. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this video

I struggle with generalized anxiety disorder and ADHD. Like many other men, I also struggle with body dysmorphia. All in all, I hate myself way too much. The end of the video hit me hard because not only were y’all talking about body image, but y’all were talking about self-love. I so often find myself paralyzed because of fear of fucking up and letting people see that I’m not who I wish I was. Will, thank you for making this video. I’d love to hear you and the therapist talk more

I've lost 75 pounds this year, took me 4 and a half months. This man Will's videos have been motivating every step of the way.

Very few fitness influencers would be able to create a video like this, let alone admit it within themselves. This is why you’re my favorite Will, you rock ❤

Super great video, thank you for sharing! Some of us hit the gym everyday, constantly worried about our diets, and never stop to check in mentally. I really needed to see this today!

Will I am a single 51 year old father of three and I have to say you are the most amazing and inspirational person online. This a great video, you are doing amazing work. Good luck with all that you and Katie achieve, you full deserve it. Inspired Sean.

Whoa… I felt like I was watching a CNN documentary or something for a sec. Shoutout to the camera man, editor, the doctor and everyone involved , and you Will. This was really well done

"I think social media is detrimental to anyone who thinks its real". DAMN, that was so well said!!

I love all your videos man. They sometimes make me cry (in the best way possible). Very real and down to earth. Thank you for posting.

Love this!!! Thank you. I’m almost 43 and I’m now getting to a place of peace and contentment. Bodybuilding help me stop caring about what people think.

Thank you Wil. I’m 62 years old (today) and have suffered from body dysmorphia my entire life. Therapy helped, but it’s my own head that has to fight the demons.

Even as a 14 yr old girl Will has helped me learn about nutrition, workouts, and especially how I view my body and how to deal with my mindset in term of working out and I will forever be grateful. A true inspiration and idol, thank you will!!

I just want to take the time to say thank you will. This video really hits home for me. I have struggled with this for a while and just hearing you talk about this and address it is truly inspiring. And not only did you address it but you spoke about your own struggles and that takes guts. You really do inspire a lot of people because you are real with them. We can’t thank you enough for what you do!!! Thank you so much will!!

I think this is one of your best videos. It was totally unexpected. It was very emotional to watch and listen to what you and Adrian had to say about the subject and relate that to personal experiences. It was reassuring and inspiring.

Will, I can not thank you enough for making this video... especially during a time when I needed to hear it the most. Hearing you open up about your struggles was like hearing myself and the childhood I had, and it feels so validing knowing you shared a similar experience and that I wasn't alone... I started watching you a year ago. I'm not a fitness person, and I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I WANT better for myself, but I always crumble under the pressure I put on myself. I've lost 50 pounds and I still have a lot more to go but I'm going to get there. I will get there because I deserve to be healthy, and my son deserves a healthy mother. Just, Thank you.

Everyone needs to see this - Will is using his platform to do something really special here. As someone who has suffered anorexia in the past, and STILL struggles with ED and body dysmorphia, even though at a healthy weight. I think this is such an important video to share, and also for men. Amazing stuff Will !

Amazing interview/experience with the doctor, he seems very genuine in actually helping people bounce back from something unattainable (ex. after pregnancy) without help. Good on you for making this video with hopes of having others open to the idea there is nothing wrong with how they look. As for the celebs, it can't be easy for them. So much pressure to look a certain way. But they have to know that going into certain areas of the field. Taylor is loved by all. She seems to have a simple build that shouldn't require much maintenance. I would hope in her case she knows the power she has to not allow others dictate her diet. Gaining 20lbs for her would not affect her voice nor drastically change her appearance. Hopefully she feels the same. At the end of the day, no matter how different you are as a INDIVIDUAL, Love yourself. If you say "I would LIKE bigger shoulders.." it should only be looked at as a goal and not a necessary requirement to love how you look and feel.

Thank you so much for doing this video! I'm 42 and have almost always been reasonably fit and healthy. Recently, I had a nervous breakdown and am still recovering now. I noticed that my mindset about my gym visits has shifted, and based on this video, I may (for the first time ever) be developing a bit of body dysmorphia. I've become a bit obsessed over the fact that my last 6 months of gym visits are not shifting my belly fat. Until this week I wasn't acknowledging that my booty shape has improved. ( I'm happy to say that I can see it now and am pleased that I have a positive result to focus on.) I just signed up with a coach that's costing me more than I can really honestly afford. But it's starting to bring me down that I have this belly fat... I just want it gone so bad. I'm otherwise quite happy with my body, and prior to this, I have always been comfortable in my own skin. But this is really impacting my mental health, and I can feel it that I'm becoming disheartened and a bit obsessed...

This was a really heartfelt and important message, well delivered. Thanks for this, Will. You're constantly one-upping yourself with the content you put out, and it's been a blast watching you grow as a creator over the years.

Probably Will's best video to date. When he talked about therapy, and how it is dope to stand up and be honest and go to therapy. That hit home, thank you Will

Lovely video. I really appreciate you opening up about your own experiences in the conversation at the end. Thank you for highlighting such an important issue.

That was an amazing talk u had with him, i grew u feeling the exact same will n when i drank or did drugs it helped it go away....it made me feel normal, so i never learned how to do it sober i have been using drugs of some sort to give me that normal feeling where i can go out to the grocery store without having insane anxiety or just not going because of it......thanx for talking n putting urself out there brother this stuff can really help people, everyone wants to no they are not alone❤

Thank you, sir. This helped me to make the decision to finally seek therapy and trust me, I will do it tommorow first thing. I have been living in shame, self hatred and depression for way too long. I only had that video playing in background while I was doing stuff in the house, but what you were saying about therapy got my attention and it was very encouraging. Edit: I did it! Got my appointment in a month, For the first time in my 33 years of living, I managed to say how I actually feel, while talking to the phone lady from the clinic.

Been lifting for pretty seriously for 15 years and somewhere along the way I overcame body dysmorphia. I think it was the combination of going to therapy helping me overcome my insecurities and finding more important things in my life than my physique as I have gotten older.

I am incredibly moved by this video. It sheds light on the important topics of body dysmorphia and mental health, and I genuinely find it so inspiring. It has provided me with much-needed support during a time when I am struggling with similar emotions. Sending well wishes to everyone watching this. Thank you, Will, for creating such a powerful and impactful content!

Thank you for making this video and being vulnerable and raw about your emotions and feeling. We need more people who can be a guide to look up to. So many people can relate to this in many different ways.

Body dysmorphia is real. Im 32, married with 3 kids. Im far more confident than I was 18-23. I look back on pictures from that time period, and i looked fantastic! But in the moment, i thought i was overweight and lacking muscle. When in reality, i was in better shape than 99% of people around me. Nowadays, the disparity between my peers and myself is even larger, as I haven't stopped lifting and eating, while many fell off. Are there areas i could still improve? Sure, but i can now recognize my progress and it no longer occupies my mind as it did when i was 18-22. Perspective is important, and unfortunately sometimes it takes time and experience to get over things like body dysmorphia.

This is by far my favorite video of Will’s! Massive props for putting himself out there and talk about his insecurities!

great video I hope this one stays reaching people for a long time. thanks to will and everyone who was willing to be vulnerable to talk about this, I think being open can help people feel less pressure to meet all these crazy and ever changing standards

As a body dysmorphic person thank you so much for addressing this with such honesty and grace. Every freaking day is a struggle - there are good days and bad days. Your honesty and integrity in this video is really thoughtful. Keep making amazing thoughtful content - appreciate feeling "seen" in a less imperfect way.

As a fitness influencer this is such an amazing and important message to get across. You’re saving lives man forreal.

Hairloss nearly killed me. I was 21 when I realized my hairline was not only receding but actually completely disappearing. It was brutal. Every minute of the day i was thinking about it. At work I wouldn't even touch my hair but my table was full of hair. It was insane. I couldn't look at reflections I wouldn't sit on specific seats in the bus that gave a better view, i would bend down to pick something up a certain way. It was always and everywhere. That bad stinging feeling in you stomach that you will now only look worse and worse and there's nothing you can do about it, you can just watch it happen. My parents supported me to get a hairtransplant. It's not perfect by far but man, it sounds extreme but I honestly think it safed my life I'm now happy with how I look. Hairloss is bodydismorphia on an extreme and I don't wish that for anyone. Yet a lot of men struggle with it.

Beautiful video! Everything needed to be said. We all need to continue to have these conversations more often. Job well done!

Thank you so much for posting this video and bringing awareness to something that is so common but not talked about enough.

Your delivery is getting more and more professional with each video Will. Huge props to you for the quality you deliver

I wish I could like this video a million times!! This video truly hit home for me. I have body dysmorphia and it’s been a constant struggle my entire life - I come from a Vietnamese family and growing up, I was a chubby kid and I was constantly criticized by my parents, family friends, and community because I wasn’t skinny and didn’t fit the typical Vietnamese girl/ woman aesthetic and by default, was deemed unattractive and ugly in their eyes. It took me years to finally address my issues with my own self image because like you said, at one point, I just didn’t give a shit on what people thought about me anymore. Going to therapy has helped tremendously and now in my 30s, I see the improvement in my mental health and how I view myself, but the body dysmorphia is still there. I just have to take it one day at a time. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about body dysmorphia and being so vulnerable with us. You are truly an amazing person and you will always have my support! Thank you for being you 💖

Thnx so much we all needed this much love 326 now 296 on the journey and never felt better love everyone and yourseld you can do this!!!

First video of yours that I've watched, really cool of you to be vulnerable and seek the answers and use that to help others. Wish you all the best.

Will is the best influencer in the fitness industry. Actuslly goes to the sources. He's come so far. I cant wait to see how much further he will grow.

I am about 230-240lbs, 6'1'' and strongman/power lifting build. People call me a walking tank, but somehow, I still suffer from body dysmorphia. I don't partake in social media anything, been working out for more than half my life, mid 30s. Definitely stems from my childhood. You're not alone, Will. Cheers brother and keep lifting, but more importantly, keep being you. I look forward to your content weekly.

Thank you for this fantastic video I’ve been working on myself soo much in these years and this while i wasn’t exposed to anything I didn’t know it just helped me feel better I can’t explain it but I truly felt comfort after watching this i guess understanding that even someone with a physique like you can suffer from this just shows that its a tough fight that should be taken seriously and we need to just be happy with the progress we get and keep on the grind and learn to love the body we have not the one we can’t achieve, and keep working towards the best version of ourselves.

Thanks for bringing awareness with this. I was diagnosed with this over a decade ago, not even knowing what BD was, and it took a lot of CBT to keep myself in control, but it really never goes away. It took me a long time to realize that I will never actually know what I really look like, even facially. I can recognize myself, but my concept of if my features altogether is aesthetically pleasing or not. It's like looking at someone that isn't me, but I only know that is me in the mirror through obvious logic. I still struggle with picking at my face or parts of my body out of frustration and I definitely fear going outside being seen still. (I also have anxiety and depression which adds to it.) When the part about trauma came in, it hit hard, because even now my mother keeps holding me to the "Asian Woman" standard: having to be thin, small, pretty, mainstream fashionable. My husband also has BD, despite undiagnosed, but he works out a lot and he feels he is always not big enough, like he can never measure up to his late father's body and weight lifting achievements. It's been difficult for him as he has trouble believing even when he is given numbers on his muscle measurements. We've done as much as we can to work on it with therapy because we have a child. Thankfully our daughter doesn't seem to have it, according to her therapist, since she enjoys her own features and her excitement is in just getting stronger without even desiring to look at herself in the mirror. She's 8, loves lifting weights, doing yoga, makeup, nails. I can only hope it stays in the future as we navigate social media with her. It's so scary to think that she may be influenced so much by these things. I'm just grateful that all she is obsessed about right now is Creepers on Minecraft instead of camera filters like some of her peers. This needs to be exposed more in schools as awareness because of how much of social media puts pressure on kids so early, but then idk if High Schools even have Media Studies, like mine did back in the late 90s early 2000s, so who knows what subject schools can fit it into. 😒

Dear Will, I’m a 27 yo woman who was always a chubby girl and is on a fitness journey who has dealt with body image issues from the very young age of 6 years old…I have made some progress and have more to go, but it’s always never enough due to this illness. It has crippled my life, and does daily. I am hoping to get therapy for it soon. I just want to say thank you for this video-after a long day of constant voice’s throwing at my own appearance in my head, this really helped me. And thank you Will for always helping me feel motivated through your videos, may God bless you 🤍

I've suffered from eating disorders for 11 years now. Both anorexia and bulimia. . I was diagnosed with MS 11 years ago and the meds they started me on made me absolutely sick. And the eating disorders came. Bulimia is what I'm struggling with the most now. I'm in active recovery for the first time in those 11 years and I credit that to lifting weights. I knew I couldn't keep up with that life to be SKINNNNNNY and no fat what so ever on me. I thought I was on the right page. Then once I started those weights and following KZfaq women and seeing IG women with big butts, boobs, and perfect abs, the body dysmorphia started all over again BUT the other way. I now don't want to be a twig in kids clothes... I KNOW I see changes in me. I LOVE my arms and I've always had amazing legs bc I've been a runner even in the eating disorder days. But now I want to be more tone and ya. I could be "better". Long story short .... social media is absolutely a nightmare for someone recovering from ED's and body dysmorphia. Therapy helps but it's so hard to be HONEST 100% of the time with the psychiatrist. It's ya. It's a struggle but I'm on the right path. I just HOPE it continues. I realized I don't giiiive a fuck what someone thinks of me anymore. I just have to get over what I think of me.

Thank you for this video. I feel heard. I am currently at around 95kg. I'm feeling happy but also uncomfortable. Happy that I am alive and doing what I love, but uncomfortable, because I get daily several times told by my parents and grand family that me trying to put effort into loosing weight "will bring me no where" or "all that effort doesn't do shit". My mum especially is telling me that I am fat, and over all these years I started _feeling_ fat. I am weighing more than the average for my height (1.72m) but still, instead of pointing out that I am fat, I would love it if they told me that I am doing good progress, or anything uplifting. My parents and others are the ones who got brainwashed by social media (and even demonizing social media and technology) that they started to do what all the other people do too: Point and laugh and failures, make a scene of everything and mock me for being "lazy". Just because my workouts don't meet their expectations after 2 weeks. They want me to loose 25 kg (WTF) in 2 weeks, because they can't recognize their child anymore. They have lost their own mindfullness by social media. It hurts, and I would love to change my perspective on my body, because I actually deep down don't care how I look like. skinny, fat, idgaf. Now, I am doing workouts (lost 8kg the past 4 months) not because of this unwanted pressure, even tho it has become a factor that I can't just remove. I decided to turn the perspective over and thought: What if I do the workouts to see how far I can go with my body: in strength and looks. Not for others, just for me. As an experiment. For the experimenting part I started looking for callisthenic workouts and other important videos. This video made me feel better, because I know that I am not alone, and for all those who are battling Dysmorphia in some way, I am sending hugs and love. Stay healthy y'all. 💖

I think the crazy thing too is that beauty standards are often not even a factor of attractiveness for the opposite gender. For example, men don't know enough about makeup to even notice the difference, but other girls notice. Similarly, men want a lot of muscle but the people who appreciate it the most are other men. I know a lot of women, myself included, that think after a certain point too much muscle is kind of gross because it looks so unrealistic.

I'm an older guy. I'm 44. I was morbidly obese at 40, I've never been "in shape". Even as a child I was chubby. I got to a point in my life where I started to think about longevity. I knew if I continued the path I was on, I wouldn't live a long life. I was struggling with health issues. I dropped about 60lbs the first year. I learned a lot along the way. 4+ years since turning my life around, I see things on me I'd like to change, but I don't get hung up over those things. Being healthy, physically and mentally, are the most important things. Learn to be happy with the skin you're in. Life is way too short to give a shit what others see when they look at you. Will, I doubt you'll read this but, I've been watching you for a few years. Your videos have helped me along my journey. You've really matured as a creator and I wish you nothing but continued success.

Interesting topic, not only because I myself am diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) (I am male, 24). The people or specifically the one dude in the streets probably does not have BDD. It is actually pretty normal to not like everything on your body, very rarely does someone like themself a 100%. Having BDD is a completely different story. You are completely consumed most times with your thoughts on your flaws or activities like looking in the mirror or making sure to hide your flaws. In my extreme times I did spent up to 8h daily with such thoughts and activities. Sometimes I did not even dare to go outside because I did not feel I look like a human but rather a monster. My mirror image of my face could change in a instant from "OK" to completely unacceptable. I mean my face, the form of my face, could dynamically change in seconds. My perception was extremely distorted compared to a normal perception. I have missed so much because of BDD. I never had a girlfriend because I did not feel worthy enough. I missed a lot of social events and chances because of my low self esteem, which is a shame because I am naturally a very open and social being. Yes I even underwent surgery, which was expensive and not the solution. Luckily I the surgery did not make me any more ugly, that can also happen. I had suicidal thoughts many times just because of my thoughts about my appearane. With psychotherapy I am doing way better now. This can happen to absolutely anyone. I myself am apparantly attractive based on the opinions and reactions I get from other people. I also got a fit body. Objectlively there is absolutely no reason to be unsastified with myself. Not to brag about it, but I wanna say without these validations I find myself in the bubble of my own thoughts and my mind can easily tell me again that I am absolutely not attractive but rather hideous. So to anyone with BDD: It is important to not listen to negative thoughts but to listen to the more neutral opinions of other people. Do not waste time infront of the mirror. Live your Iife and do not stress about your appearance, that's when you objectively look the best - when you are relaxed and happy. I appreciate the video and the awareness that comes with it.

Thank you SOOO much for this! Men, especially, need to normalize this talk. That it's ok to NOT be the only one growing and going through this. Does not make you weak when a community can come together to become a village.

I never comment on anything, but wow this hit different. Thank you for being so authentic and vulnerable and sharing this deeply important message.

“You’ve already achieved the things you said would make you happy.” The beauty of life is in the now. Chasing ideals will leave you unsatisfied time after time. Thank you for this video and all you do Will💜

Comparison is the thief of joy.

One of the most important videos I've watched in a long time. Brings up the mental health issues many people(including myself) haven't been treating. Thank you for this informative video - a well needed reality check and a push for taking care of my mental health in this regard. Thank you

This video was so eye-opening for me. I didn’t know something like this existed, and yet I fit the diagnosis to a T when I look back at how I viewed my body differently, and was never satisfied, and still am not even though I go to the gym every day. In fact, I just started going to the gym because I was working out in my basement because I felt too embarrassed to go to the gym. This is something I am going to have to think seriously about and even to the point of going for therapy and I really appreciate your bringing this to all of our attention. Thank you so much.

I always try to live by the quote "Remember your starting point is someone else's goal" There's always someone somewhere that'd love to be where you are now.

How I helped my body dysmorphia was the exposure like Adrian said. I started by noticing and complimenting the things I saw on other people that I genuinely liked (smile, laugh, confidence, etc). Then I turned those compliments inward, every time I saw myself I would compliment myself. I would force myself to look in the mirror for minutes at a time. I got used to myself and the fear I had of not being enough for the people around me turned into appreciation for the amazing things my body does everyday. I still struggle some days, but thoughts about my body do not consume day. If it works for anyone else that would be cool :) good luck guys, you got this

Pretty good video. Giving information to all of us bout’ a problem that we experience at some point in our lives when we start going to the gym or when we think we don’t make progress

Love your videos! Thank you for showing another perspective that is hidden intentionally by the fitness and medical industry. I have loved your content since the fit camp video. Please keep up the great work!!!

Wow! The way Will opened up talking to the therapist was really moving and shows that everyone can suffer. I really hope this video helps everyone who watches it.

Will, you have no IDEA - this video came at just the right time for me! For the last few months I have been obsessing over certain flaws on my face to the point where I cannot stand looking in the mirror anymore, even though I always thought I don't care too much about looks. Had my first aesthetic consultation last week and the dermatologist directly crossed out 4 out of the 6 things I thought I'd have to change. She is very competent, and like the doctor in the video, explained to me that some of the things I think I need are totally natural things to expect on a human face. Like nasolabial folds, textured skin, looseness in certain areas (unless you are a teenager - her words). I'm trying to fall in love with human faces again. But it's hard if you are constantly surrounded by perfection online.

I really appreciated this video. You never know what someone is going through beneath the surface, and I feel like this topic isn’t talked about enough.

Love this video. I had a rhinoplasty when I was young, it was life changing. The change was, I had the surgery and I wasn’t living my life terrified of people seeing my profile or having my photo taken. My nose is/was truly very large. This wasn’t body dysmorphia. Fast forward / I am 40 finding myself almost regretfully getting a mummy makeover (I was influenced of course but also didn’t invest in my mental health). Total regret when I woke up from surgery. Lots of self hatred. I had the implants removed. This is was body dysmorphia. I still struggle with it today but my scars are a beautiful and consistent reminder. Just love yourself first and love yourself even more if you choose surgery,

Hugely important video. As a new dad to a 1 year old, and a 3 year old, this is an issue that I wasn't looking forward to addressing as they grew. For the majority of my 34 years on this planet, it's something I've struggled with and continue to try to do and be better at. Appreciate everyone involved in the making of this.

This might be the most important video you've made. Unbelievably thoughtful content. Thank you for the vulnerability, courage and heart!

Subbed to Will at the beginning of my health/fitness journey and not only do I get a good laugh ( 99% of the time ) I get good information from him too . Probably my fav fit content creator , thanks for the laughs and the knowledge bro 🤞🏽

17:33 It's great thata big fitness youtuber like you is showing that. I hope to see a lot more of that from that. I do not aspire to be huge and ripped, but still, I never thought that you would look so different in and out of the gym, this can certain change how people think about their bodies and whatever they see in social media. This is certain one of the best videos in youtube, a lot of people absolutely need to watch this.

This is probably one of the best videos I've seen from any fitness influencer ever. Not only addressing such a large problem but sitting down with it and discussing it with professionals. As someone who suffers from severe body dysmoprhia and eating disorders that have led to suicidal thoughts, thank you so much for bringing more light to this.

As someone who is 40lbs overweight and just starting to take fitness and my health serious I can only hope that one day I look as good as you. Thanks for all the great content Will

great video!! Gave the topic the respect it deserves with a longgg video to really get the message through

Amazing video!!❤️❤️❤️ Huge respect!!! ❤️🙏 Theraphy is dope! Looking inside is essential! These aspects need to be more talked about! Thank you for being vulnerable and honest and amazing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I've been watchin mr. Tennyson ever since I was 16 and now I'm only getting worse in not accepting who I am and what I can be, instead I've learned that I just can't bear to even not accept things in my life such as honesty, satisfaction, humility, and being grateful thank you, Will

Appreciate the openness you showed in discussing your personal trauma and how you dealt with it. Not an easy conversation but you were open and honest about it all. Stop giving a shit is such a true statement. I fully agree that it’s dope that people go into therapy, that’s strength and character. Thanks for the real conversations.

So wholesome to see Will opening up the way he did at the end. Just shows that even those who are hugely successful still have the same struggles and issues as the rest of us 👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Respect to you Will for opening up. Love all your videos, but this one must have been tough to do, but so worth it. Thank you!

Forever one of the realest fitness influencers to cross the YT platform. Thank you Will, for making this video. We all need the love and vulnerable little you depict in all these interviews. Hats 🧢 off with a standing ovation to you! Much love 👏🏼

The last 10minutes of this video actually made me tear up because i felt so represented and i felt that i could relate to what those 2 guys are because i am literally suffering from that problem,caring too much about what other pepole think about me than actually appreciating myself,sinking into the moment and appreciating who i truly am. I overcame a lot since I acknowledged that i had this problem and i am slowly coming to the point of truly accepting who i am and forgetting about all the judgement of other pepole. I wish anyone who read this comment could always be fully confident in themselves and unaffected by anyone's thoughts about them.

Big shout out to will for touching on this subject. Continue bringing the truth to people. THAT LAST PART WITH THE PSYCHIATRIST TOUCHED ME. NO CAP. Like I was afraid of living and experiencing because I didn't look like how the other girls look. I was really insecure. But as I got older, I realized that I had to stop comparing myself to other people. And just do me. The gym also helped me with that cause it helped me face me and who I am and what i'm made of. So like always U are doing an amazing job. U are amazing!! Thank you as always❤❤❤❤❤

This video made me tear up. I don’t comment on videos often but when you spoke about getting bullied in school for being overweight and then having lost the weight, I went through something similar too. I was also sexually harassed- verbally, constantly by my “peers” and had to switch schools. These things, at the age of 27, have now manifested in so many different ways in my life… I wish I had gone to therapy earlier. You’re a gem, Will. Thank you for this awesome video and being a positive influence on millions of lives.

This video was amazing, Will. Being someone that lost 293lbs in totall within 8 years. Till this day I still see that fat guy in the mirror. Sucks. But everyone tells me “you’re jacked” you’re so lean” but at the end of the day I’m still proud of myself. I made it this far. I’m happy with my achievements but the memories of me being over weight and nearly dying and being made fun of on the daily still lives in my head. Many years later…. We all suppress our feelings unfortunately but we all need talk about our feelings man… if anyone is reading this and you feel down… you’re loved and we’re all here for you. Don’t give up people. You’re worth it ❤

Honestly, a video of this caliber means so much! Not just an influencer trying to sell us some gymshark apparel, something truly meaningful and impactful! So much respect Will. Please keep providing content like this! Means a lot!

As someone who has consistently struggled with BD i teared up by the end. I've lived constantly under the guise of "self acceptance not allowed" to motivate continuous effort. It doesn't work of course. Compassion and kindness towards yourself are the only things that will. I've just been scared of that because deep down I don't believe I deserve that.

Will thank you for this video. With struggling with binge eating my entire life this hits home. Seeing my weight fluctuate so much and then looking into the mirror hating my body to the point of obsession. Finding your channel is truly opening my eyes and I’m now on my way to a better me and loving myself again. ♥️🇨🇦

Everyday i’m thankful the algorithm led me to will’s channel. This video and many others have helped me so much. I know you’ve helped millions with your content. videos like this are what people need to see.

Going from 345 pounds 2 years ago to 170 rn, I still myself around 250. All I see is the fat, I don’t even had loose skin because I’m so young but I just see whatever fat I have. It got to the point where I was 150 and I still only saw a fatass. It was really rough, but honestly videos like this and realizing that my body is my body and I don’t need to look like a CrossFit athlete is what helped me. Thank you Will.

wow. I skipped watching this too many times and finally gave in. I love all your content, but this video is truly the best until this date you have ever done. thank you

Great video! Props for you for showing how important dealling with these topics is. I appreciate you alot will!
