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.

You get what you ask for in this life. If you ask for nothing, you get nothing.

There is no reality, only perception.

Life is a full-contact sport, and there's a score up on the board.

I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt.

You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.
