They say you should never eat before you go to bed, but I've found just having a tiny little snack - like half an apple or something like that - before you go to sleep really helps.

I never thought in a million years, I'd be that healthy girl who wakes up every morning to exercise.

My girlfriends and I just started doing plyometrics. It's a killer - it hurts so much. But when you walk out of there, you're like, 'I can't believe I just did that and my body looks this good.

Even now I don't consider myself skinny, but I have put a lot of hard work into my body over the years, and in the process, I've really learned to love myself.

I didn't know that anything was wrong with me until the media got involved in my life.

I go on the Internet and look at old pictures of myself, because it is the best reminder of how far I have come and where I do not want to be.

A trick I've learned is to eat just a little bit of something that has no carbs and no sugar in it before you go to sleep because it keeps your metabolism going.
