Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, not lifestyle choices.

Everyday is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be.

I want to help with bullying because there are girls who can't just up and homeschool and focus on their career.

I'm also very passionate about charity because it helps people who don't have as loud of a voice as I do.

I tried to conform to what everyone thinks is beautiful. But my genetics gave me a curvy figure, and I've come to understand that in the Latina culture, that is beautiful.

Very skinny girls were on the cover of magazines and that's what I was looking up to so that's what I had to idolize. I don't want that for young girls to idolize.

I was just so sick. I thought that orange juice was going to make me fat.
