I used to weigh myself every day at a certain time of day. Then I would write down the number and measure my body fat. It wasn't a healthy way to live.

I'm realising now that I can't just blurt things out.

I dreamed about these moments, and I think I hoped I would have them, but you don't know. So when the lucky break hits, it's like being Cinderella and hopefully midnight doesn't come.

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

I'm not perfect. But clothes help. A good bra with some underwire definitely helps a lot!

I always assume I look better than I actually do. I'll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I'll see a picture and think, 'Crap, I had no idea that's what I was looking like.'

I look back at my twenties and see that I was much less confident.
