who wants advice from someone looking like him? well i do...and alot of other people out there do too. why? because he knows what hes talking about. try reading his book :) and maybe then youll have a possitive attitude about your self like he gives other and you will be able to lose weight. if you have a bad attitude like you do right now in this post im replying to then you wont get any place in life but where you are right now...over weight and hateful.but if you THINK positive then your ACTIONS will be positive. remember the little engine that could? "i think i can i think i can" if you want to lose weight then your attitude has to be I KNOW I CAN, instead of "oh dr phil doesnt know what hes talking about because i havent lost any weight" get your head out of your ass and you ass of the couch , put down those cheetos, AND WORK FOR WHAT YOU WANT! there is no magic pill, nothing in life is free and thats EXACTLY what dr phils book says. this is not just to you, this is to everyone who has been posting negitive crap about dr phil.thank you have a nice day. p.s. id like to add in that i am no longer over weight AND im happy about who i am...thanks to dr phil
