“Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. Which means it is more painful for me to stay how I am, not being able to sleep very well, not being able to run around and play with my kids without getting winded, umm, feeling like crap, having my pants be tight, going out in public and feeling like “awhh, I’m fat, people are looking at me”. That pain is greater than the pain of exercising and eating healthy and not being able to have your coke cola classic, it’s PAINFUL not to be able to drink my coke but it’s not as painful as feeling like crap. I definitly want to lose weight but more than anything, I want to feel good. I used to be a vibratious young man who could jump and flip and punch and kick and swim and do all kinds of stuff and now I can upload videos to youtube. And that’s about all I can do, thats it. I can push buttons with these fingers. So I want to feel better, I want to be able to surf, jump on a surf board and drop into  a skateboard ramp and go skiing and you know whatever. So I want to lose weight, sure but I want to feel a lot better.”
