Being successful is something that's sometimes hard to deal with.

When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.

No one is perfect... absolutely no one. Like precious stones, we have a few flaws, but why focus on that? Focus on what you like about yourself, and that will bring you happiness and peace.

Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.

Everyone in Senate is a hurdle, but everyone in there has children. Everyone in there has grandchildren. No one wants to see our kids continue to gain weight, have high blood pressure high cholesterol, diabetes, and depression.

Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better. I used to have eating disorders; I'd binge and purge all the time: fried oysters, po' boys, muffulettas, beignets, coffee and doughnuts. I tried to medicate myself with food when people made fun of me or hit me with a bat in school. I'd always turn to food.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.
