I have willpower and determination. I am very resilient, like rock.

I started to put on weight when I was about four and a half and it got really bad when I was around nine. I ballooned. I was about 110 pounds.

My fat cells have a memory like Einstein! I'm proof that surgery is not a magic potion. There are many ways to sabotage it.

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.

It's such a rush doing a concert and seeing people actually mouthing the lyrics.

I am always cautious.

It's normal to gain weight during pregnancy. It's something that has to happen to your body.
