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.

I like to watch 'Grey's Anatomy' when I'd doing cardio. But, sometimes I do need good music to get me moving. I like high energy songs by artists like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna.

I have two beautiful children and my husband. The perfect day for me is just to be with them and have fun. We like simple things, you know.

I save my dreams and hopes for my kids. When I'm making a wish under a bridge or tunnel, it's always for them.

Especially with me working in the entertainment industry, I think my kids are aware of weight and fat much earlier than other kids. It was important to me from the beginning to make sure they understand things like why too much sugar is bad for you, etc.

I always cringe when people tell me they don't eat breakfast, as though that's a good thing. Eek! You have to start the day off with something in your stomach to get your metabolism active.
