I come from the school of being (stereotyped) since I was five years old. And I know that I should not be putting my personal issues on the table or letting them effect my work.

It's important to stay true to yourself. You have to know your weaknesses and recruit support when and where you need it.

Play with your kids. Limit their TV time. Get outdoors and chase them around. Wrestle with them. Walk the dog. Go bike riding. The reality is that your kids are not stupid, and they know when they are overweight Start walking the dog after dinner instead of watching TV. You don't want them going on the Web to find ways to lose weight. That's when you'll find them eating tissue paper because they read that a supermodel did it.

Ask yourself, "Why do I want to be in shape?" and write all ... Put your list everywhere to constantly remind yourself why you're doing what you're doing and how your life will improve by becoming fitter.

When you do hit the gym, you should push yourself. This is what makes fitness phenomena so interesting.

Here's the thing: life is now. It's not ten pounds from now, it's not twenty pounds from now, it's not a million dollars from now. It's right now. And you just have to take a chance.

Having the right to happiness means having the right to earn it, not having it given to you without effort and action on your part.
