I eat my feelings - when I'm happy, when I'm sad.

I just have to be very clear. Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it's purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren't attractive - because I think they're awesome and sexy.

I think everyone has shame about something, whether it's a lack of a relationship with a child or maybe their weight or a lack of communication within their marriage. Everyone can relate to that because we all have something that we're like, 'God, I can work on that,' or, 'I wish I was better at doing this.'

I have been able to help my friends and people that I believe in pay their bills and stay afloat in L.A. while following their dreams.

I just feel really grateful that I can pursue my dreams and also reach people in ways that I never expected.
