balls care difficult education focus gather god good invented laugh life liking people preach start taking teach themselves
When you gather up all the balls of life that you try to juggle, it is a very difficult thing to try to focus in on taking good care of yourself. But that's why God invented me - so I can come and teach and preach and make people laugh and give them some education so they can start liking themselves better.
teacher
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
teacher strong night
When I go to bed at night, I ask God to give me another day; I ask him to keep me strong and make me a good teacher and to keep spreading this right word.
teach has-beens
I don't have to teach anymore, I don't have to work anymore, God has been really good to me.
dream growing-up teaching
It's my life dream to be able to go and continue going to schools and teaching them about stretching and aerobics, cardio and strength training, because I want them to have a better life than I did. I don't want them to grow up to be me. I want them to be healthy. I want them not to go through eating disorders [like me].

We trust the Lukens board of directors will recognize its fiduciary duties and accept our clearly superior offer.

I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can't get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago.

In high school, I could get beaten up all the time, or I could be something better. I became the court jester.
people
I'm not into any show that makes people compete when they lose weight.
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.
There are sacrifices you have to make. I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.
crazy funny laughing silly talking
I show them the funny part, the silly part, the laughing part, the crazy part and then the really deep, deep part where I'm talking from my heart to these people. Because I've been through everything they've been through.
