I think it's the human condition to be frequently embarrassed by your parents.

I wish my parents hadn't made me feel that how I looked was linked to how much they loved me. But I do also see how hard it must be to see your child pile on the pounds and trust they'll find their own way back to a healthy weight.

I was fat because my parents were a little fat themselves at that point in their lives, and I ate what they ate.

When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't.'

My mom used to tell me: 'It's not what you weigh; it's what you look like.'

I was always the slightly fat kid, which used to bother me quite a bit.

I've had designers say to my face, 'Oh, I want to dress you now that you're skinny.' And that's really rude.

I always had a weight issue since I was a young kid.

I was always such a skinny kid, so I kind of grew up with an 'I hate skinny' mentality.
