Look for someone who has a complete life without you in it. If you have a person you don't need for anything, that's ideal. You're just together because you really want to be.

When you're the spokeswoman for a weight-loss program, everything is witnessed. I weigh in once a week with a witness. I have to sign an affidavit saying I cannot have any surgeries.

There's a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are.

I am the one who got myself fat, who did all the eating. So I had to take full responsibility for it.

I always feel like there is some dude out there with money that I could fall back on if I needed to.

I had the halfway house. I can't tell how many nights I spent around my kitchen table, soothing broken hearts.

I never did go back to acting class. I was too busy working.
