I do want to lose weight for my children. I don't want them to think being fat is okay.

When I became of service to other people I stopped worrying about my weight so much.

With the counseling of my family doctor, my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children's program. I went to weekly meetings, got counseling and would exercise with my peers who were my size. It was the first time I saw a proper children's portion size, and it wasn't two burgers, it was one.

I have always had a problem with my weight.

A mother who is obsessing about being thin and dieting and exercising is not going to be a very good mother.

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.

I'm the reason why I'm overweight. No one made me do it. I did it.

I only feel better because people aren't being so abusive to me about my weight.

My weight has been one of the most challenging things that I've had to deal with throughout my career.

Tackling childhood obesity is key.
