When you have the courage to tell the truth about what you're really afraid of, fear doesn't have control over your life.

Resistance is never the agent of change. You have to embrace the actions that are going to get you closer to your goal.

When weight loss becomes a goal in your life, eating right and exercising are just two pieces of the puzzle. Figuring out why you've put on the extra weight is the hardest part.

You just have to start putting one foot in front of the other, making an effort to get healthy every day.

Behind weight gain are the larger hurts and questions that have to be explored, probed, and understood before weight loss and maintenance is a possibility. It's a bigger issue than just calories in, calories out.

You have to track every single thing you eat if you want to keep posting big numbers on the scale each week.

Getting enough sleep can be just as important as working out.
