I felt very comfortable about myself when I was much heavier. I feel much better about myself from being fit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel very comfortable in my own skin. When someone makes jokes about me being heavy, it makes me mad. It's not true. I'm right where I should be.
I am comfortable with who I am as a person. I've never felt that pressure of feeling like I need to fit into something else or be something else because that's not me. I work out and I'm healthy, but that's not to lose weight; that's just to feel good.
Physically, I feel extremely well, perhaps fitter than ever.
I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.
I've always been conscious of my weight.
When I was heavier, I danced and I jumped out of planes. I've always rejected the idea that there's a certain look or size that makes it acceptable to live life.
I was lightweight - that was the whole point of me.
I feel differently immediately when I start to put weight on. I don't like that sluggish, blunted disposition that I have when that happens.
I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.
Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of them have been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror or how I felt about myself.
