I've always felt that, when I looked at my tombstone, it shouldn't say, 'Mehmet Oz banged out 10,000 open-heart operations.' I've probably done 5,000. Am I any better at it than 10,000? He shook his head. It's just a different number on the tombstone.
weight disposition feels
I feel differently immediately when I start to put weight on. I don't like that sluggish, blunted disposition that I have when that happens.
