I'm a food addict, that's my downfall.

We all have our painful pasts we have to get through.

I'm excellent at losing weight, but I've never been excellent at maintenance. I have some better days than others in terms of being hypervigilant, but with maintenance you don't know if you've been good at it until you're done.

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.

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.

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

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.
