emotional who-i-am people
My way is the sensitive, emotional way, because that's who I am. A day doesn't go by where I don't sit and cry, listening to the stories. I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh.
morning drinking meditation-practice
I get energy from meditation practice and from eating healthy fresh food, only one cup of espresso in the morning, and not drinking too much.
sleep night eight
Sleep is critical to me ... at least eight or nine hours a night. I start to slow down my body and my mind at least 30 minutes before I get into bed. I don't watch any disturbing or invigorating TV at night.
kids faces body
When I talk to kids who are overweight, I see my face on their bodies.
progress life-is work-in-progress
My life is just a never-ending work in progress.
work-out
Every day you eat is every day you have to work out.
museums house dolls
I have a one of a kind collection of dolls. My house is like a museum.
names machines bigs
I've been offered big money to promote machines. And high-protein diets, when that was really popular. There was always some new powder or diet plan that somebody wanted to put my name on.
workout real thinking
There is no magic milkshake or workout machine. I think the real machine is your body. I do love treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, free weights.
workout stress weight
When you gain weight, for every pound that you gain, it adds four pounds of stress on your knees. So if you gain five pounds, you've got 20 pounds of stress on your knees. So that's why I'm extremely careful with my portions and my workout, because I can't be overweight.
successful sometimes deals
Being successful is something that's sometimes hard to deal with.
people answers certain
If people confront me with certain questions, if they are not right, I will not answer them.
anyone cosmetic order people
I think it is very important that you like yourself for who you are and not want to look like anyone else. You also have to understand, many people have had cosmetic surgeries in order to look the way they look. So why look like them when you can just look like you? And there is nothing wrong with looking like you.
bypass clown court eat emotional hospital melted people time work
My way is the sensitive, emotional way, because that's who I am. I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh. At the same time, you have people in the hospital who have had gastric bypass or lap-band surgery, and they still have to work out. If you don't work out and eat healthy, you'll look like a melted candle.
