Priorities and purpose help keep us on track.

Raising children has made me more patient and selfless.

I eat healthy and drink a lot of water. I eliminated most white sugar and dairy from my diet. It's done wonders for me not only in maintaining a healthy weight, but it's increased my energy levels and immunity.

The way I was raised, family was always the most important. When I had our first daughter, Natasha, I knew that's what I wanted to do.

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.

My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.

I really do feel like I'm in better shape and look better now - even after having three kids - than I did before.
