I think one of the biggest things that affects young women is when they hear their mothers using fat talk.

It was hard to get guys to notice me, period, because I was so skinny and all my friends were curvy. Plus, I used to be very nervous in front of guys.

I look at myself and pick out the things I don't like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area.

Never dull your shine for somebody else.

I feel more comfortable when I'm lighter - I sleep better, I snore less, I have more endurance when I work out, my arms look better.

Don't make excuses - make improvements!

I know this is weird... I am a Black woman and I am not mixed with any Asian blood or Chinese blood at all, but for some reason, as a child, the movie, The Last Emperor, had a serious affect on me. I can't understand why. But there's something that the movie did to me.
