My biggest thing is banana pudding, but it's the devil! So no one is allowed to bring it into my house. Because I can't control myself. So why put it in my domain?

If you're asking yourself why I have this success and you don't, don't be angry with me-stop and ask yourself what your issues are that are holding you back.

Anyone can lose a few pounds, but not everyone has the tools to stick with it.

The key thing is figuring out what your issues are, and it's really never about the food. You have to be real and honest with yourself. I had to stop and look and ask myself, ‘Why do I want this? What is the real reason?’ At times it was comfort food like chocolate. I love chocolate and I realized it relaxes me, so when you acknowledge what the issue is, you can control it better.

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.

Permanent weight loss doesn’t come with an on and off switch. It is not something you do for a little while and think it is going to change your body.

You cannot just work out and then eat poorly and expect to lose weight. It doesn’t work that way.
