The amount of time I spent on facing my negative conscious has been most of my struggle and changing my mind-set has been the biggest change in my life not my weight.

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.

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.

Women come in all shapes and sizes, and we are what we want to be, not the label that is placed on us.

There is an energy in New York that is like nowhere else I've been, and I feel free there, and that is inspiring.

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.
