I Give People Permission To Be Kids

Truthfully, Everyone Knows How To Eat Right. They Know The Difference Between Oatmeal And A Jelly Cream Doughnut. They Know How To Walk. Everyone Has This In Their Brain. When I Started, We Didn't Have All This Knowledge. Forty Years Ago, I Lost My Weight, But Only By Watching What I Was Eating.

Every Day After School, For Three Hours A Day, I Would Sell Those Pralines On The Street Corner. I Was Just Eight Years Old. I'd Bring The Money Home To My Parents And Say, "this Is Just The Beginning."

Its An Eerie Thing. My Childhood Is Being Washed Away.

Ninety Percent Of People Who Lose Weight Gain It Back. It's Very Sad.

All Of A Sudden, I'm Thinking That If I Keep Eating The Way I'm Eating, I'm Not Going To Live Long And I'm Going To Die. Having Those Thoughts As A Young Person Can Be Very Haunting.
