Telling a little white lie can seem harmless enough, and we've all fibbed at some point in our lives. But today, host Craig Thompson cautions viewers about the danger of bending the truth. He notes that if we don't take responsibility for our actions, how can we ever improve? Craig encourages viewers to celebrate their successes, while also owning up to their shortcomings, so they can accurately asses their true progress.]]> http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/90-seconds-to-success/90-seconds-to-success-moving-toward-honesty.html/feed/ 2 http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/90-seconds-to-success/90-seconds-to-success-staying-plugged-in.html/ http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/90-seconds-to-success/90-seconds-to-success-staying-plugged-in.html/#comments Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:00:21 +0000 admin http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/90-seconds-to-success/90-seconds-to-success-staying-plugged-in.html/ Staying Plugged In.

Many people who suffer with obesity think of themselves as being worthless. But, the truth is that each of us is a unique work of art, a singular creation and beyond price. Even in the world of checks and credits, each of us has value because others have chosen to invest in us, whether financially or emotionally. By way of analogy, Craig shows us that even a violin overlooked in a pawn shop as a “piece of junk” can turn out to have tremendous worth – if only we know how to recognize it.]]> http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/90-seconds-to-success/90-seconds-to-success-the-value-of-you.html/feed/ 0 http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/90-seconds-to-success/90-seconds-to-success-tongue-tied.html/ http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/90-seconds-to-success/90-seconds-to-success-tongue-tied.html/#comments Wed, 11 Mar 2009 07:00:47 +0000 admin http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/?p=4637 Tongue Tied.
