I’m proud of my body. My body weight will always be something I’ll struggle with for the rest of my life, but I’m finally in a good place and learning to love me for me, and not somebody else’s standards.
When I was at home, I felt loved and safe. My sisters were always a safe haven for me. I knew they would always play with me and make me feel like I was one of them.
I don’t believe in revenge. When people are bullies it’s because of a deeper-rooted issue – either their family life is tough or they’re being bullied by someone bigger than they are.
I’m not shy about wearing a lot of makeup! But when I don’t have to be done up, I just use a bit of concealer and maybe some lip balm.
Everyone expects me to be 9 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds when they meet me.
I like to do designs on the side of my face, or cut out foil stickers from the crafts store and put them on my forehead.
I never said I was a weightlifter. I never said I was trained. I’m not a personal trainer. I just enjoy working out. So sometimes I feel like, do I have to write a disclaimer? Like, disclaimer: “I’m not a trainer.”
I say all the time I think there should be some courses in the regular schooling system that isn’t, even like about credit, things that matter later in life. I learned the harder way: ‘Look, I got a $500 credit card in the mail, let’s go shopping!’
I would surrender my being to see you whole once more.
My weight fluctuates, like any normal girl, and I have times when I feel insecure.
I just find it funny what people will comment on, I try to not pay that much attention to it, but the crazy part is that if I’m doing a squat and I have an action photo, they’re like, “Oh your form is off!” And I’m like, are you kidding? I’m still at the gym and you’re not!
It’s easier to date a football player for sure. Football players have one game a week, and they practice every day, but they’re all at home. In basketball, they’re on the road all the time.
One of the biggest struggles of my life is my weight. My weight is always going up and down, and I’m always fighting that, and I think that no matter what I do, I’m never going to look good enough to everybody else.
I try to focus more on the positive, but it’s half the time I’m getting, “Oh you’re only in the gym to take a picture,” and it’s like, “So what the f – k, I’m in here every day, I drove an hour just to take a picture?”
You can’t expect everyone to love you. I’m not someone who just wants to throw out hate, just because.
I’m strong and fearless and not afraid to take risks in business.
