With reality TV, sometimes it's amazing chemistry and you get these gems that turn out to be everything you hoped, and the camera loves them and they just blossom on the show. And then sometimes it's not all you envision.

I was definitely one of those people who fell for the fat-free cookies and chips that are loaded with sugar and calories.

If you're sitting in front of the TV, you can't have ice cream. But if you're running around all day, then yeah, you can.

I have encouraged my kids to eat well from day one. I add flavor - herbs and spices - to everything because I don't want them getting used to starchy, bland food.

I've met so many fans of daytime television who've watched the shows with their moms and grandmas and feel like they've known the characters their whole lives. It's sad for them to have to say goodbye to their favorite soaps and characters. We don't want that to happen to the 'Days' fans.

That's the biggest thing to separate - your body from your self worth.

I save every Christmas card. I keep them all.
