Sometimes I see myself fine sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth but there are nights I only need forgiveness.

My desire is to stand up and brush myself off when I make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.

I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn't until I really started doing good and doing right by other people as well as myself that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don't have a problem going to sleep at night.

I've realized that I'm more important than food is. I love a big slice of pizza but I love myself more. Being thin is about changing the way you think about yourself. It's about saying that you deserve to be healthy.

I don't really believe in diets. I love food... If I deprive myself I'm going to want it more. I snack on yogurt raw cashews and cherry tomatoes.

I try to eat in a way that makes me feel good. If that means a little bite of chocolate I do that but I try not to use food as a reward for myself.

Nobody believed the 'Food Network' could last. Even I was short sighted and thought to myself 24 hours of food on TV? They'll run out of things to talk about in four days! But that wasn't true. 'Food Network' continues to get better and evolve.

I used to eat because food tastes so good. I love food it's one of the best things on this planet. But I changed the way I was thinking. I started asking myself 'Hey am I eating because it tastes good? Or because I really need some more? Am I really still hungry?'

I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people myself included.

I learned very early that our health is always impaired by some excess either of food or abstinence and I never had any physician except myself.
