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.

Loving smart means believing in you, your worth and your value.

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

Why do so many marriages fail? Because nobody gets taught how to be married. We're not taught how to pick a mate, or why to pick a mate; we don't know how to manage our emotions once we're in a marriage; we don't know how to resolve marital conflict. Married people have never been taught why they or their spouses feel the way they do and act the way they do. Nobody has ever taught us the fundamentals.

There is no reality, only perception.

Instead of being ashamed of what you've been through, be proud of what you have overcome!

Are you doing what you're doing today because you want to do it, or because it's what you were doing yesterday?
