My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.

To me, I always felt like I was carrying a torch for women of any size to be themselves - it doesn't matter whether you're a size 2 or a 22, just be who you are.

If I ran into a 19-year-old version of myself, I'd just tell her to live, full out. I might also tell her to go ahead and have a few babies and not worry about the timing of it.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.
