If I was ashamed of who I am, I would be in the closet.
From Jillian Michaels
I was picked on as a kid. I had a nose the size of a softball plus braces and acne. It was rough.
I was an overweight kid, and my father struggled with his weight, too. We would go for a ride on his motorcycle on Sunday morning to get doughnuts, to make pizza together, or go get ice cream. I quickly learned that food equalled love and attention.
When you're strong physically, it improves your strength in every other facet of your life. You're more confident, your self-esteem is higher, and your self image is better.
Try not to say, 'I'm a failure.' Instead, ask, 'What can I do better? What did I do wrong?' Then re-approach.
My mom gave me enough self-worth to carry me through difficult experiences. She was very loving and accepting. She was like, 'Whelp, you're gay? OK, cool.'
Stop turning to fad diets and use common sense.
The fad diets are doing way more harm than good.
I was 175 pounds at 13 years old and 5 feet tall.
I'm done with 'Biggest Loser.'
