Realize that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.

Norman Vincent Peale

I think another [myth] is that some marriages are just hopeless.

When I was overweight and unhappy, I thought about being smaller, I thought about fitting into different clothes and feeling comfortable in any environment or social situation. But I didn't do anything about it. I was letting myself fall victim to not planning, not clarifying steps to reach my goals. Don't go on just wanting something. Start consciously planning where you want to be.
