It's not just about you...

Yesterday, in the lockerroom, Dr. Phil was on. Normally, I try to tune these kind of programs out because they just drive me crazy. Yesterday, was no exception but they were talking about obese kids.

So -- not to put the Dr. Phil guilt spin on it -- but what about the example you are setting for those around you?

Making some small changes (that add up to pounds lost for you) also has the added benefit of changing the example you set for those around you -- like your kids.

So maybe it's not all about you -- maybe it's like Gandhi said:

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Debbie,

That is my motto, one I use in my signature line, I have a ring I wear on my thumb with that saying and try to live it in all areas of my life, some days are harder than others, but I hope to leave this world a better place when I go.  Ghandi was an example of trying to lead by example.

Take care, Laureen


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen
