Ethan Suplee

“I don't want to be a professional dieter for the rest of my life.”

“For the first time in my life, I'm not trying to get smaller. I'm trying to get bigger.”

“My goal now is to be a beacon for other people who are struggling.”

“Maintenance is a totally different skill than weight loss.”

“The most important thing I would want anyone to take away is that you can do it.”

“I had this idea that food was something that people didn’t want me to have, so if I wanted to have more, I needed to do it privately, and it became something I was ashamed of.”

“I’ve gained and lost probably close to 1,000 pounds at this point.”

“I'm at my absolute pinnacle. I spent 35, 40 years without taking my shirt off in public.”

“Food is a functional tool. It’s a fuel.”

“The one thing that I've found that is not a part of any diet is a sense of freedom.”

“You can’t just quit your job and go to the gym for 8 hours a day. It’s not realistic.”

“I was very, very lucky that I was a working actor, and it was a specific type that I played. And when I lost weight, I didn't work for a year.”

“There is a finality to it. If I have one, I will have them all.”

“My entropy, the thing that I go back to, is a state of being fat.”
