I'm actually happier with my body now . . . because the body I have now is the body I've worked for. I have a better relationship with it. From a purely aesthetic point of view, my body was better when I was 22, 23. But I didn't enjoy it. I was too busy comparing it to everyone else's.

Even in normal life, I'm not the skinniest model.

I've tried and failed a lot. But I've also tried to be really clear about my brand. It is who I am. I'm a mum, I'm a wife, I'm 44 and from the Midwest.

As my mom always said, 'You'd rather have smile lines than frown lines.'

As a mother, I always have something better to be doing. I love work still, but I'm less tolerant of my time being wasted.

You start out happy that you have no hips or boobs.All of a sudden you get them, and it feels sloppy. Then just when you start liking them, they start drooping.

I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
