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 wish I had more time to read. I do love books.
I don't want to hide anything - there is nothing to hide.
I can be a lady - surprise!
If you walk down the street, within five minutes you will see someone who is morbidly obese or obese.
There's a huge emotional component to weight loss.
All I can do is listen to what my body needs and feels.
I did have reconstructive plastic surgery and a tummy tuck. And from hip to hip, there's a very big scar. It looks better than it did... So I say, if you don't like that skin, have it removed. This is my advice: if you're gonna do it - just go for it.
I realized that I have to slow down. I work so hard, I'm so busy.
There are days where I've lost weight and I feel bigger or fatter or uglier and I want to just hibernate. I'll find every excuse not to exercise. I hate it.
I am always cautious.
I'm definitely up in weight. I'm looking forward to getting an exercise routine again. It's like a daily decision.
I'm trying to teach my daughter about healthy eating.
I have willpower and determination. I am very resilient, like rock.
I decided that it's either, you know, if I want to have children, have a family and - and live a long life, I've got to make some real, real serious changes.
Sometimes reality T.V. can be stressful.
My fat cells have a memory like Einstein! I'm proof that surgery is not a magic potion. There are many ways to sabotage it.
The most important thing I think we need to remember is that we're a work in progress. Do not be ashamed or afraid to ask for help. That's what I did. I asked for help.
Certain foods no longer agree with me. If I eat French fries, I might feel sick to my stomach.
The surgery will always be a huge part of my life. I'm going to need to help people with weight problems for the rest of my life so that I can maintain my weight.
