I was an overweight kid, and I went through a period where, oh my God, they were making cow sounds at me when I walked down the hallway and just humiliating me. Kids can be mean.
I was 175 pounds at 13 years old and 5 feet tall.
There is a huge misconception that if you do something like hot yoga, you'll burn more calories, and the opposite is true. You want to heat your body from the inside out, not the outside in.
I think that when moms just give themselves up, the kids know. They feel guilty; they resent their mother for making them feel guilty, and then they grow up and do the same thing. Whereas my mother showed me that it's okay to focus on yourself.
Every now and again, you just gotta hit something. Not someone - something.

People that know me know I'm very good about doing my own thing and minding my own business.
My dad was a crazy person, but some of the best qualities about me came from him.
