I don't think it's good to constantly talk about your own weight and the fact that you look fat in jeans.

It's hard to wind down, but then I beat myself up because I have a tense back.

Never assume someone is smarter than you.

If you start giving your kids anxiety about food, it's going to last a lifetime. Moms have to lead by example. Don't say, "Oh, my jeans don't fit," or "Oh, I was bad." No diets. Nothing like that.

Life is an obstacle course. You succeed at one thing and then you move on to the next. When an obstacle is tough, you try harder. When an obstacle is insurmountable, you change course. But you never sit down and refuse to finish.

I have to be in a relationship where I can say what I feel even if it's wrong - so we can work through it.

You choose happiness. You don't wait for it to choose you.
