The evening is really hard for me. I have to force myself not to eat.

My husband and I are best of friends first and foremost. We fight like cats and dogs, but never stay mad for long. I was lucky to find him, he is in every way, my soulmate.

I have willpower and determination. I am very resilient, like rock.

We all come from dysfunctional families and these days I guess that's pretty normal.

Certain foods no longer agree with me. If I eat French fries, I might feel sick to my stomach.

I realized that I have to slow down. I work so hard, I'm so busy.

I am always cautious.

I have a child to feed and a spirit that can't be crushed, so I'm able to move ahead.

I started doing yoga.

It's not just being overweight that's dangerous. Stress is dangerous.

If I'm known as the girl that lost weight and it's been six years later and I've still kept off the 110 pounds, God bless. Because I never kept off 100 pounds before in my life.

But for I am a woman should I therefore live that I should not tell you the goodness of God?

I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much.

I become faint and nauseous during even very minor medical procedures, such as making an appointment by phone.

People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen.

Be careful what you pray for.

[Detractors] are just wrong, and that's okay. They just don't see it yet. That's what I would tell myself to keep those moments of doubt, only moments.

No happiness gives happiness until you share it with someone.

It's amazing how beauty can mask so many flaws

The problem with a job is that relying on others to give you a living is the biggest risk of all.

I am very gender-fluid and feel more like I wake up every day sort of gender neutral.
