After All The Throwing Up,

I'm The Clown You Take Out Of The Box And Wind Up When You Need A Good Laugh. And Then, When You're Done With Me, I Go Back In My Box.

If You Want To Get The Body You've Always Dreamed Of, You Have To Earn It. You Can't Buy It, You Can't Rent It. You Have To Earn It. My Formula Has Always Been Love Yourself, Move Your Body, Watch Your Portions. And It Sounds So Easy, But It Is Not.

I Am Kinder To My Body. I Don't Try To Prove Anything To Myself Or Others. I Keep Thinking About The Need To Go Slower, Gentler And Maintain A Sense Of Humor About It All.

Stop Trying To Find Something In Food That Will Make You Feel Better. I Used To Have Eating Disorders; I'd Binge And Purge All The Time: Fried Oysters, Po' Boys, Muffulettas, Beignets, Coffee And Doughnuts. I Tried To Medicate Myself With Food When People Made Fun Of Me Or Hit Me With A Bat In School. I'd Always Turn To Food. Knowing What I Now Know, I'd Turn To Me.

For 40 Years, My Formula Has Been To Love Yourself, Move Your Body And To Watch Portion Size. But The No. 1 Thing Is To Love And Value Yourself, No Matter What You've Been Through.
