Loving yourself means caring enough to make the hard decisions in your life.

You have to accept the plan and realize that if you slip, and you might, you can’t use that as a reason to give up or stop.

Whenever I’d try to talk myself out of going for a walk, and there were a few days like that, I’d take myself through a series of simple tasks so I would get up and go. 1. Get up. 2. Find your house keys. 3. Put on some shoes. 4. Grab your iPod. 5. Walk out the front door.

What people need to know is that if you don't eat what you want, then you'll just continue to eat, because you're not fulfilled.

I accept any challenge.

When someone wants to lose weight, they will do whatever it takes. They can’t do it for anyone else but themselves. It has to be for them alone. Without that understanding, they will fail.

I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love.
