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.

People come up to me and tell me how I changed their life and I've inspired them. And they tell me their stories, and that keeps me going.

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.

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

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.

When you're busy blocking out difficult emotions and feelings, you're not going to feel the good stuff, either.

Professionally, I have no major goals. That's partly because I'm really flaky. I want things, but I don't go after them. I'd rather they be placed in my lap.
