I'm a Southern lady that almost never leaves the house without makeup on.

My grandmother lives on a farm. And growing up, I assumed that the animals that I was eating and the animals that I was wearing all came from farms like my grandmother's. They all had names, they were all smothered with love, and they all lived to be very old.

With the counseling of my family doctor, my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children's program. I went to weekly meetings, got counseling and would exercise with my peers who were my size. It was the first time I saw a proper children's portion size, and it wasn't two burgers, it was one.

Romcoms are challenging, but I'm hungry for drama.

No matter how much love is there, these aren't two people who are actually good for each other. They don't help each other grow. They stifle each other's growth.

I started reading and learned that we don't need any of it - meat, dairy products. We get everything we need without those things - except maybe B12, but there's this whole controversy that maybe we're only getting B12 because the animals are being fed B12 supplements.

I'm desperate to have children. I am chomping at the bit. It's a problem. I can't imagine that I will not be a mother.
