I want kids to know that it is okay to make a change in order to feel better about themselves.

I love social media and the ability to connect to new people through Twitter and Facebook and share my real time experiences with my mommy network.

I think that's one of the most important gifts we have in television - the ability to heal through laughter.

I have those moments with my kids and family where we try to unplug and just be in the moment. We put everything else to the side and just be there with our family.

I used to be a free spirit.

I know there are parents who are very structured and organized and are certainly far more together than I am, it's just not me.

For me, I just want to feel great. But carrying the extra pounds started to weigh me down - literally. I want to encourage moms to feel good about themselves. I think it's important to empower ourselves. We have kids and we love our kids. But we still have ourselves. And I want to feel like the best version of myself. That's why I turned to Nutrisystem.
