My husband and I don't want Hollywood drama. I go to the market and do the dishes. I'm not treated differently because I work on TV.

I battled with my weight as a teenager, partly because there wasn't the information or conversation about how to live a healthy lifestyle.

When I saw contestants fighting for their lives on 'The Biggest Loser,' I realized I just wanted to be healthy - to have fun playing soccer with my son or teaching my daughter to shoot hoops. Then it was so much easier to say no to carbs, soda, or dessert, and the weight just came off.

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

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

The mental game of 'holding out,' not eating for as long as possible, at least for me, was a really unhealthy mental place. I would inevitably lose that battle and eat too much in one sitting and end up really mad at myself.
