Your life is meant for you to understand and process, not to make anyone else happy.

Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be.

With this crazy lifestyle, you have to think of places where you can still have your freedom.

Not to be vain, but I have nice long legs, so I like to accentuate them. Find what part of your body you love most - it can be your arms, your chest, your legs - and emphasize that.

A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly, I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: 'Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty?' I think I'm beautiful either way.

I love hard; I love who I love, and I don't make any qualms about it.
