Oprah's Pep Talks

If you've been with us for awhile you should be feeling solidly into the program. If you're just joining, welcome to change-your-life behavior. Here are some things to think about when you find yourself wavering or trying to stay motivated.

You deserve the best life possible for you. The good life that everyone seeks can only come from the way you think and act towards yourself and then others. There is no true happiness without good health. So the commitment to work on your health is a pledge toward a better future in every way.

Your weight issues are metaphors for your life issues. When you are fit, strong, taking in maximum oxygen, letting it out, you are more capable of handling every other experience, challenge, difficulty joy and victory.

Continue the workouts, and maintain the discipline it takes to reach your goal.

In my early years of diet after diet, I used to pray for discipline to stick to a program. Only after remaining consistent, making my workout a priority—no matter what—did I realize, discipline doesn't come to you. You earn it by doing the thing you think you cannot do. And then keep doing it.

Live Strong!
