I'm a lightweight better be careful what you say With every word I'm blown away You're in control of my heart

We aren't robots. What makes us exceptional as humans, is that we have the capacity to feel as many emotions all at once.

I feel like I'm held more accountable to stay healthy now because now I'm a role model to young girls to not have eating issues and to not say, 'Hey, it's OK to starve yourself' or 'It's OK to throw up after your meals' - that's not OK.

After so long being thin, it was terrifying being heavier. But I am a naturally curvy Hispanic girl. I don't deprive myself.

Don't be afraid to speak up, because someone will be there for you.

My tattoos say "Stay strong." "Stay" on one wrist and "strong" on the other. I'm able to look at them and be thankful for being alive.

Love yourself for who you are and just keep going.
