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.

Something horrible may have happened to you, but you always have a choice in how you respond to it. You have the "Why does bad stuff always happen to me? I'm never going to find happiness" option, and the "This sucks but I'm going to learn and evolve from it, examine what role I played in it, and ultimately it will help me become the person I'm supposed to be" option.

When friends tell you how awesome you look, drop the "I still have more to go" crap. You worked hard and you deserve the compliment!

You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire.

Do I look like the kind of person who gives a ****

Remember that transformation is a present activity.

I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!
