What happens when it’s 2 a.m. and you’re alone in a hotel room with the devil’s minibar? Minibar – one; Marissa – zero.

I have no regrets. I had an amazing surrogate who carried my son for me. I am so grateful to her. I can even say I am grateful for having cancer. I was always meant to be a mom, but if I didnt have cancer, I never would have had Zev. I would have had a kid, but not Zev, and I want Zev - tantrums and all.

I know many people have said it before, but there is nothing a cup of coffee and a new pair of shoes can't fix!

I work out every day, and I eat 1,200 calories. Heres the truth - like Ive said to everybody, Every diet works if you follow the diet.

On Dec. 10, 2000, I learned I was free of cancer.
