On how she wasn’t always fit:
"I was always heavier … I was chunky."
On her eating disorder past:
"I used disordered eating to fill an empty void. It was worse when I was feeling anxious. People often call bulimia the 'good girl drug' because we don't do drugs or drink alcohol we just abuse food. It was a horrible habit. I felt like I had no control over my mind and I had such self-defeating thoughts. I felt a variety of emotions, sadness, guilt, emptiness."
On how pregnancy changed her:
"I had to let go of being perfect, When I became pregnant with my first child I was like 'Wow this is what my body is really made for?' Be fit before you get pregnant."
On why she offers fitness tips:
"I think fitness always makes me happier it makes you feel like you can control so many things in your life. It's the ability to be set a goal, take action, remain consistent and create a result. that process takes a lot of discipline. I think that we're obviously struggling as a nation with our weight. I work to be a role model. It's important to love yourself and remember to strive to be better physically, professionally and personally."
On what she doesn’t like about her figure:
"I don't have long legs. I never wear skinny jeans."
On the "What's your excuse?" photo:
"If I can make health a priority as a working mom of three kids who has struggled with bulimia and weight issues, then you can too!'
Her advice on avoiding junk food:
"There are healthier fast food options that are affordable (besides McDonald’s). for example, I like the $1.50 grilled chicken wraps from Taco Bell."
