Bryce Kennell IG Followers: 296 Regular dad transformation, fitness, family, and faith I lost 100lbs over 14 months as a busy dad of 5 after being overweight my whole life, and I've since started doing CrossFit. Currently I am beginning an apprenticeship next week at my local gym to be a CrossFit coach and working on my CF Level 1 Certification. I won't to grow my following to provide extra income and opportunities for my family of five kids.

5 Struggles Overweight - I struggled with being overweight my whole entire life.  From the time I was a kid, I was always overweight.  There were pockets in my life where I felt good about myself, but those were small fleeting moments where my weight would balloon back up again, often times larger than I was before I had began to lose weight. Not Good Enough - I constantly feel like I am not enough, no matter what I do. No matter the praise that I get from other people, the accolades that I get, the happiness that other people have when they are with me, I always feel like I am not good enough and that they are just telling me what I want to hear.  No matter the avenue, fitness, parenting, financially, no matter what I do, I can never be good enough.  I compare myself to others who have been doing things for way longer than I have, who are in a different phase of life, who have different jobs, etc. when in reality I shouldn’t be comparing myself to anyone. Depression - Episodes of depression have hit me hard my entire life, with spurts harder than others, but the underlying theme is always there.  There are moments when I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning, moments where I wonder if my life is worth anything, and wondering if just being gone would be the easiest way to take care of the feelings that I constantly have. Finances - I have always struggled with my money.  I’m not good with money, although I am the bread winner and oversee the finances in our household.  I must provide for my family, teenagers who are getting older, toddlers who are growing, and expenses that keep going up.  We are not completely broke, we just don’t have the comforts or stability that other people might have, and the things that other people take for granted. Faith - I struggle with my faith, even though I know it is the most important part of my life.  I preach faith to my children, to people I see struggling, when in fact, it is something that I struggle with myself.  When times are hard, when I am in a dark place, faith is the last thing on my mind, when I know that it should be at the forefront of my mind.  I feel like a hypocrite because I tell people that the way to deal with their struggles is by talking to God and by praying, and often pray for people, but in my own life it is the last thing that I do when I am struggling.
