My body holds on to every part of every, you know, calorie that there is out there.

I never set out to be a role model for large women, I just do what I feel is right.

It makes sense that the placenta almost looks like a tree with many branches - a tree of life.

I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.

I've lost 12 inches in three weeks. Every time I go for the costume fitting each week, it's smaller and smaller. I'm feeling great. I'm putting in the work. I'm getting a lot of sleep. Everything is on the backburner right now. 'Dancing' is my priority.

I've surpassed any goal I set for myself as far as my body, my career, and getting married.

I think it's important to balance out what people see today as normal birth, in a hospital room, flat on their backs, usually with an IV and a fetal monitor hooked up to them. That does happen, but other things are possible.
