I think a lot of people think because I was getting the divorce, that was really the catalyst for gaining so much weight.

I kept buying bigger and bigger jeans, and once the size 14s got too tight, I thought: 'That's it. I'm not buying the next size'.

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 never, ever, ever had deltoids! Oh my God, when I'm doing exercises and I see them pop out, I'm like, Yes!

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

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

I've got this old-school workout - push-ups, sit-ups, tricep dips. And it worked. Anybody can do this at home.
