“I think the biggest thing for me was that I had all of these people that I inspired and then I let them down…My whole life I battled with 15 to 20 pounds, I either weighed 125 or 145, oh!… 125 or 145, you know, like wow.  Then, when I gained weight the last time I honest to god thought, ‘This is it, this is the last time I’ll ever do this.’”

“I thought, if I’m so afraid of a bikini, there’s something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!”
