I tell people that the scales lie. you may have played basketball and weighed 175 pounds, with a 30-inch waist, back when you were in college. and you may still weigh 175 at 55. but you probably have a 35-inch waist and you've probably lost 30 or 40 pounds of muscle -- and gained 30 or 40 pounds of fat. the tape measure doesn't lie. get that tape measure out and put it on your hips and your waist. keep checking it. and keep exercising and cutting those calories down until that tape measure gets close to where you were in your prime.

The more people participate in the process of their own education, and the more people participate in defining what kind of production to produce, and for what and why, the more people participate in the development of their selves. the more people become themselves, the better the democracy.
