I was this role model for heavy people. But the thing is, I never set out to be a role model at all, and I don't set out to be one now. I won't preach to anyone and tell them how to lose weight. I don't know any better than the next person.

I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!

Normal birth to me should not be numb from the waist down and waiting for the doctor to tell you to push. There's a reason we feel it. There's a reason we need to feel it.

“If I had been on 'Bowling for Dollars,' I'd wind up owing them money.”

It's inspiring, I think, for women out there to see I'm a regular person. I am the every woman who's struggled with my weight.

I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.

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.
