magical
It's the most magical place in the world.
gained god instill motivator others weight
I used to think that if someone gained their weight back, it was my fault, but all I can do is be God's motivator and try to instill the motivation in others so they do it themselves.
precious-stones perfect focus
No one is perfect... absolutely no one. Like precious stones, we have a few flaws, but why focus on that? Focus on what you like about yourself, and that will bring you happiness and peace.
kings wife court
When the king gets depressed, he doesn't call for his wife. He doesn't call for the cook. He calls for the court jester.
helping-others feel-good care
If I don't take care of myself, if I don't feel good about myself, how can I help others?
airports upset legs
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
nice inspire important
Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.
underwear looks weight
When I lost my weight, I went and bought about 15 different types of underwear to see what would look good on my new body. It's exciting!
eerie childhood
Its an eerie thing. My childhood is being washed away.
workout work-out pounds
When I go to teach, that's not my workout. It's my show. I'm 134 pounds - I'm a teeny thing. I work out 11/2 hours a day and eat 1,600 calories. I can't stray because I have to fit into these Dolfin shorts!
helping strive persons
I just strive to do better. Every time I meet somebody, I ask myself, "How can I help this person?"
grateful giving bed
When I go to bed, I ask God to give me one more day tomorrow. When I get it, I'm excited and grateful.
workout prayer blessing
For my workout, I'm up at 4am. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done. One day I'll tone - chest, back and shoulders - and the next day it's biceps and triceps. I also do 45 minutes of cardio every day. I do that before I even leave the house.
desperate-measures weight pills
I took desperate measures to lose weight and did terrible things to myself. I went from diet pills to thirty laxatives a day to throwing up.
