After accidentally stumbling on this video, I've spent nearly all weekend finding, reading and watching everything I can about him. I honestly feel like watching this video has changed my whole outlook on life, not just my struggles with weight loss. If there is anything I can do to help others, it's to recommend that you watch this.

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
--Randy Pausch
When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.
