There's something fundamental you have to understand about yourself before you can change your life for good.

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.

When I was overweight and unhappy, I thought about being smaller, I thought about fitting into different clothes and feeling comfortable in any environment or social situation. But I didn't do anything about it. I was letting myself fall victim to not planning, not clarifying steps to reach my goals. Don't go on just wanting something. Start consciously planning where you want to be.

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.

The universe holds enough happiness and success for everyone.
