Whenever I’d try to talk myself out of going for a walk, and there were a few days like that, I’d take myself through a series of simple tasks so I would get up and go. 1. Get up. 2. Find your house keys. 3. Put on some shoes. 4. Grab your iPod. 5. Walk out the front door.

Loving yourself means caring enough to make the hard decisions in your life.

I once had a crush on one of my teachers. I wrote him a love letter and stuck it in a bag in his office. I didn’t write my name on it, but I’m sure he figured out it was me.

Long before "American Idol" people used to call me a diva. And I be like, "Hold on, are you calling me something else on the sly? You gonna call me a diva, call me a good diva."

What people need to know is that if you don't eat what you want, then you'll just continue to eat, because you're not fulfilled.

God uses people to help others. I only pray my faith is strong enough to get me through what I have to face.

It's one thing to lose weight, but it's another thing to eat healthy.
