You don't get second chances in the real world.

I would not say I'm an aggressive shopper. I want to be; I aspire to be an aggressive shopper. I am a meek, meek shopper.

There are few women in America that don't want to lose 5 pounds, but I refuse to let that thought dominate my life. And there are too many other real problems in the world - real obesity problems and real hunger problems - to worry that much about a few pounds that I'd like to lose.

I'm tempted by everything. My husband makes fun of me because every day it's a new food that I love. I have a weakness for butterscotch pudding, ice cream in any flavor and dark chocolate, although that's one thing I do keep in my house - 70% dark chocolate.

I always want my guests to be happy and impressed.

I have a mantra in my head that there will always be another meal. I can put my fork down, knowing there will be good things in my future!

I eat for a living, so working out is definitely part of my job, the same way that the eating, tasting, and drinking is.
