I delight in my family obligations, but they leave little time for breaks let alone quick trips across the country.

We come in many different shapes and sizes, and we need to support each other and our differences. Our beauty is in our differences.

I'm proud that today, at 43 years old, I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.

I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.

I am not naturally that thin, so I had to go through everything from using drugs to diet pills to laxatives to fasting. Those were my main ways of controlling my weight.
