If you're trying to get out of debt, you have to be willing to treat everything as expendable.

It's so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

It's hard to see your own face without a mirror.

Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life.

The truth doesn't have versions, it just is.

I've talked to so many people, men and women alike, that get overweight and their self-esteem just goes in the tank. They think they're judged. They think they're unattractive.

Awareness without action is worthless.
