The only things I really love about myself physically are my ankles and my hair.

I've earned all these years on my face. I don't want to be a liar if in five or 10 years I do get some Botox, but needles in the face scare me, so I don't really know if I am ever going to do that.

I've realized that I'm more important than food is. I love a big slice of pizza, but I love myself more. Being thin is about changing the way you think about yourself. It's about saying that you deserve to be healthy.

Books make great gifts because... [they don't] come in any particular size, so you don't have to be embarrassed if you bought somebody the wrong size.

I have obsessed about my weight in some sort of way all my life. I used to write in my journal what I weighed every day.

Think of every step in a workout as a step in the right direction.

Once a food becomes off-limits, then it takes on this whole other personality. Forbidden is more tempting. And it becomes something evil, but food is food. Its there to nourish your body.
