I believe becoming healthy and working out saved my life by giving me the confidence and self worth to achieve my goals.

It is hard for women not to be overly self critical, I am no exception!

Although I have never been 100 lbs overweight, I know the effects of not feeling comfortable in my own skin.

I always laugh because if I walk through the mall in my gym clothes a ponytail I get recognized but if I'm in street clothes or dressed up not very many people notice.

Look at the home makeover shows. It isn't realistic to tear down a house, rebuild it, and decorate it in less then a week, but there aren't people out there criticizing those shows.

It is extremely hurtful when women tell me I don't understand or know how they feel.
