Think of it this way: If you got a flat tire, what would you do? Change the tire? Or get out of the car and slash the other three tires? No! Get back on the road. Don't dwell on it; don't beat yourself up. That gets you nowhere.
People believe practice makes perfect, but it doesn't. If you're making a tremendous amount of mistakes, all you're doing is deeply ingraining the same mistakes.
You've got to listen to the universe, to life, to God, whatever you want to call it. Because its going to speak to you.
You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire.
You can dramatically affect the expression of your metabolism and your biochemistry by the way you eat and the way you live.

Life has a way of working out the way it's meant to.
I was picked on as a kid. I had a nose the size of a softball plus braces and acne. It was rough.
I've always believed fitness is an entry point to help you build that happier, healthier life. When your health is strong, you're capable of taking risks. You'll feel more confident to ask for the promotion. You'll have more energy to be a better mom. You'll feel more deserving of love.
It seems at times fate knocks on people's door, and they are too afraid to pursue it.
I was an overweight kid, and my father struggled with his weight, too. We would go for a ride on his motorcycle on Sunday morning to get doughnuts, to make pizza together, or go get ice cream. I quickly learned that food equalled love and attention.
I'm part Bridget Jones, part Larry David. I'm shy; I'm prude.
Not to say you should let your physicality define you, but there are some things that can make people feel really insecure. So, if there is something you want to fix that allows you to feel a little bit more confident, I support it.
