I am proactive and looking to change my own behavior rather than others' - which is generally much more successful!

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.

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.

Keeping stationary drains your brain, but moving around shows you new things, new inspiration, and keeps the blood moving.

I tried every diet under the sun and none of them worked but, more importantly, they were robbing me of my love of food.

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.

Anyone who knows our family knows this: we eat ALL the time!
