In all honesty my cake was baking when I met Al - I had made up in my mind already to get physically healthy. He refreshingly was on his own journey so it was almost as if we walked together.

I'm fairly in tune with what's private with my husband and with me.

My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes, baby.

And I had this big, long list of what I wanted in a guy but I realized I didn't stack up to the list myself.

Yes and, you know, I can't use the nice words anymore because I used to chicken out by using them. I used to call myself plus size, used to call myself chubby. I used to call myself overweight.

I mean, on the television, I've got to continue to be Star Jones Reynolds. And I enjoy that. But in my real life, I'm a wife now. You can't really be bossy when you're married.

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional, but we're still family.
