I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40 lbs lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing a contract, most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say lose weight to me, they wouldn't be working with me.

You had my heart inside of your hand but you played it to the beat
No person has the right to rain on your dreams.
When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.
Worrying is wasted time. Use the same energy for doing something about whatever worries you.
Believe and you're halfway there.

Destiny doesn't do home visits... you have to go for it yourself.
