Raising children made me determine what I stand for, what I believe in, and who I want to be because, ultimately, I'm who they'll look to as an example.

The cool thing about my profession is that I can do it until the day I die.

I'm always inspired by people who raise the bar, whether in their field of work, parenthood, or giving back.

God created each one of us in our own unique way. Just like a snowflake we all hold a blueprint that differs one from another. It's great to lose weight and keep our bodies healthy and strong, but it's also important that we appreciate who we are today - with or without extra pounds.

When I was 16, I filmed an episode of 'Full House' where my family goes to Disney World. I remember putting on baggy overalls just to hide my stomach. When I watched it, I was pretty disappointed and bummed out looking at myself... I didn't feel good about my own body.

I had no style when I was 17! I look at teenagers now and say, 'I wish I'd looked like them when I was that age.' I had no style whatsoever, but style also wasn't as prominent as it is today. I was just very laid back, usually wearing jeans and tank tops and flip flops.

My husband and my children inspire me on a daily basis to be the best wife, mom, and woman I can be.
