My weight is something that people seem to talk about a lot.

Weight is something I've battled all my life.

I felt very comfortable about myself when I was much heavier. I feel much better about myself from being fit.

Growing up the way I grew up, food was scarce. So when you had an opportunity to eat, you ate. When I graduated from high school and went to college, I weighed 160 pounds. So, I knew I had to put on the weight. I ate everything from fried food to fried chicken wings. When I came to Green Bay, I did the same thing because I was 172 pounds.

I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.

I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.

Earlier, looking lighter or slimmer never mattered to me. Frankly, I didn't care. I had more important things to do. But when I figured that it's not that hard, and I have the time, passion and patience to take it up, I jumped onto the health-wagon. I started working out.

My weight has been one of the most challenging things that I've had to deal with throughout my career.

When I became of service to other people I stopped worrying about my weight so much.

Weight is just not a hot button. In fact, during my life, it probably should have been on my radar screen a bit more. I look back at work photos and am shocked. Was I eating the people I was interviewing?! Good Lord, I was big.
