I Don't Want To Be 'the Girl

I Can't Remember A Time When My Mom Didn't Work. She Has Forever Been On The Move: A Go-getter. When My Brother Adel And I Had A Paper Route As Kids, My Mom Would Get Up Before Us At The Crack Of Dawn To Drop Off The Washington Post At Different Corners.

When You're A Big Girl Like Me, You Want Someone Who Makes You Feel Diminutive. I Think Fat Guys Are Sexy.

Having Cancer Empowered Me To Take More Risks. I Knew Beating Cancer Was Going To Shape Me, But It Wasnt Going To Be All Of Me.

I've Had Weight Issues All My Life. I've Been On All The Diets: Atkins, Liquid Protein, Scarsdale Diet. Now I Go To The Gym Often. I'm Always On The Stairmaster, And I Do Weights.

Be Crazy. Be Stupid. Be Silly. Be Weird. Be Whatever. Because Life Is Too Short To Be Anything But Happy
