Making excuses and not trying because I was scared were my go-to reactions. Nothing was going to change in my life unless I did something about it.

Being able to meet fans who look up to me and letting me know they have been inspired by me in some way is so humbling.

We are so hard on ourselves, it is unbelievable sometimes. The things we say to ourselves or think about when we look in the mirror are so cruel. We have to look at the power we do have and use it to overcome that voice of insecurity.

The weight loss has been a secondary change to the mental changes I have made. Weight loss does not fix problems; how you view yourself does.

I know that I cannot control anyone else's actions but my own, and how I choose to react to situations.

Believing in myself has always been hard. For a long time, I constantly compared myself to others, and it took away from the energy I could have been putting into my career.

I am only capable of what I allow myself to believe I can do.
