I've been on 'Days' since I was 16, and being surrounded by such thin, gorgeous actresses made me so insecure and self-conscious.

I've actually suffered from allergies my entire life. My mom had allergies, so I was aware of what an issue they can be. Many people allow their allergies to affect their lives. As a mom with two kids and two jobs, I just can't let allergies slow me down. It's a day to day thing that can really be remedied by finding the right medication.

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

I love fresh vegetables and we always include them in our meals. I don't force my kids to eat asparagus, but they do eat peas, broccoli, and carrots.

I'm addicted to a really tough workout. I like to be drenched in sweat when I'm done because I feel accomplished.

My DVR says that I watch a lot of TV my husband likes.

My husband and I both have our bucket lists. Running a marathon was on mine.
