I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.

When I go to bed at night, I ask God to give me another day; I ask him to keep me strong and make me a good teacher and to keep spreading this right word.

When I lost my weight, I went and bought about 15 different types of underwear to see what would look good on my new body. It's exciting!

Yeah, but I do call them back and follow up. Most people talk at overweight people, I talk with them.

I'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.

My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.

I give people permission to be kids again.
