I have to say, I've done this all before. Not until I started reading what everyone else is doing was I able to motivate myself to stay on my path. Thanks everyone.

One other thing:

Successful people are often times at a healthy weight. Why? Because they are disciplined. I use this as motivation to stay on my path. When I'm bye myself and I'm thinking about going to the store for food, I remember this. If I choose to have a donut or something now, then how can I kid myself about being successful? Currently I am going back to school be be more successful then I am now.

This is because they are confident. I am in the military and attend a military college and from my experience this is what I can offer you from my observations:

Everybody wants to get ahead, even if they deny it.
You have the heavily overweight people who see what they want but are discouraged by the hardships that surround that goal. These are the capable but unwilling followers.
Then there are the in-shape and attractive people. They are not attractive because of their beautiful faces… They’re attractive because they are in-shape and confidence. When you are confident in yourself and confident in all of the things you do, you’re confident around others. This exaggerated level of confidence helps those move ahead. So put yourself in the role of a corporate manager and you have a sales person making a pitch. Would you go with the overweight, lazy-looking, bashful man or would you choose the in-shape, up-straight, confident individual? As the corporate manager, I would accept the sale from guy #2. As a hiring manager, I would also accept the employment of guy #2 over guy #1. It’s better to be capable and willing to do the work rather than just capable and unwilling. If you’re capable and unwilling, sure you’ll land the job… I doubt you’ll make any drastic advancements though.

This is not to say that heavy/overweight people don’t land successful jobs, because they do. This, however, will help shed light on why it’s the “good-looking” ones who move forward with ease. Final question I pose for all of you: what defines good looking for you?

I thought you were asking a question. This is because I'm an idiot.
Please excuse my ignorance.
