Going from 300 pounds to 150 pounds was the biggest change of my whole life.

You know, after all these years, it's just like we are who we are and it's a struggle for me and sometimes I'm heavier and sometimes I'm thinner.

I always think I am one of the millions and millions of people that struggles with an addiction to food. I don't know how to relax, that's my problem.

I used food as a coping mechanism for many, many years, and it was my best friend for a long time.

The surgery will always be a huge part of my life. I'm going to need to help people with weight problems for the rest of my life so that I can maintain my weight.

When you love food as much as I do, staying healthy is not easy. I mean, moderation, not deprivation. That's my new way of living. I always want more and that's just my life.

I'm a working mother... You try to pay the bills, you try to keep your life going and there's pressure.
