I Have Rules About Eating,

I've Been Going To Shopping Malls Since I Was On General Hospital.

I'm 64, But I Act Like I'm Still 12. I Go To Schools. At Colleges, They Come Out In Droves, They Almost Scare Me. I Think It's Just To See If I'm Still Alive. After I Work Them Out - And It's Not Easy - I Sit Them Down And We Have A Serious Talk. Are They Eating? Working On Their Body? I Can Say Things Parents Won't Say. No Matter Where I Go, I Talk To Each One Individually After I Teach. They Tell Me Things Like, 'i'm Starving, Guys Like Girls Thinner.' I Give Them Concrete Advice About Self-image And Self-worth.

I Have Two Rules For Living In The World. I Never Say Anything Negative About Anyone, Because That Won't Get You Anywhere. And Two, If People Confront Me With Certain Questions, If They Are Not Right, I Will Not Answer Them.

I Try To Be The Clown And Court Jester And Make People Laugh. At The Same Time, You Have People In The Hospital Who Have Had Gastric Bypass Or Lap-band Surgery And They Still Have To Work Out. If You Don't Work Out And Eat Healthy, You'll Look Like A Melted Candle.

It's Terrible, The Way Obese Children And Adults Are Treated In This Country [usa]. And I'm Not Leaving This Earth Until That Is Changed.
