My days are jam-packed with carpools, classroom assistance, tending to chickens, dogs and seven acres of olive trees!

My weight fluctuated when I was 30, and I did the unthinkable - I stepped out as a plus-sized model.

I had been on this insane diet for almost 17 years to maintain the weight that was demanded of me when I was modeling. My diet was really starvation. I am not naturally that thin.

Exposing any subject that is unpleasant or controversial means risking judgment and making some people feel uncomfortable.

When I consider the deeper meaning of yoga, I realize it's about a lot more than simply performing a variety of postures on a mat.

I did some great work with my Calvin Klein ads on the motorcycle. It was really groundbreaking because people hadn't seen a woman actually riding a motorcycle before.

I've found that balance is key. I'm no longer an extremist in any one direction.
