The toughest part was doing it in front of the world and recognizing that you had gotten to a point where if you didn't do something you were going to die.

I had started losing weight. I mean he didn't know anything about the journey that I was on at that point obviously but from my highest weight of just over 300 pounds I lost about 45 pounds.

Sometimes when, you know, God tries to correct you in private and if you don't catch it he'll correct you in public.

I want people to make the same choice I made to get healthy.

If you can't stay focused enough to focus on what people out there actually care about, their own lives, their healthcare, their education for their children, businesses that they can build, if you can stay focused enough to put that in your speech, you can't be president.

I felt good full figured. Morbidly obese I was unhealthy and dying.

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional, but we're still family.
