Everyone always asks, how has your life changed since you left the show? I think the question should be how didn't it change? My life, although it’s still me inside, my life has changed so much for the better: from my health, from my outlook on life and it truly helped me find what my new quest in life is, which is now to help others who have struggled like I have with weight and self acceptance. I'm currently getting certificated in aerobic classes and personal training as well as motivational speaking to youth and women's groups. Most of my weight problems started when I was a child, due to many years of unhealthy eating. I figured if I start by helping with the youth, what could be better? Knowing if I helped one kid not to get made fun of or help tons of kids learn about leading a healthy lifestyle, my life would feel truly fulfilled. Also this show has giving me the strength to realize the only opinion that should matter is your own. I think a lot of people,especially women, are worried about how thin they are or about what he said, she said, and we shouldn't!! When this show aired I had so many people talk so much about me, what they thought I was, even telling me I should get my mole on my face removed because it "annoyed them". I normally would just laugh but sometimes I let it get to me, but I realized at the end of the day it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, I'm just me, and I love me!! And lastly it’s not a mole it’s a beauty!! Be who you are. No regrets!! :)
