Growing up in my family, it wasn't important that we always be the best; it was important that we were going to try to be our best and give it our all.

Exercise is important, but exercise in a gym is not important. Go and take a walk outside. Skip the umpteenth coffee date and go for a hike instead. Take the stairs. Walk your errands.

If you live your life all out today, not only is it fun, but you are preventing a midlife crisis.

We all have so much access to the information on the Internet and in books, but we don't necessarily get that information in a usable way so that we can turn information into action.

When I was young and growing up overweight, I believed the "eaten" was more powerful than the "eater," meaning the food was more powerful than I was.

I have been very, very lucky because I have my health, a wonderful husband, family, and friends, and I get to do what I love.

While fad diets might seem like the quick-fix solution to lose weight, they won't help you get healthy in the long run.
