I suffered from eating disorders when I was just a kid. I did not like me or the way I looked. But back then, you could not tell anyone.

Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.

There is no magic milkshake or workout machine. I think the real machine is your body. I do love treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, free weights.

There is no such thing as sleep deprivation, there is only caffeine deficiency.

Everything I did with my life I did so that I could give my parents everything they didn't have because of me.

For many years, my formula has been to love yourself, move your body and to watch portion size. But the No. 1 thing is to love and value yourself, no matter what you've been through.

I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
