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.

A lot of my friends are musicians or artists, and their talent always pushes me to think creatively.

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.

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

I can be capable of anything if I allow myself to be. I really realized what an obstacle I was being in my own life.

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.
