A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly, I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: 'Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty?' I think I'm beautiful either way.

It's really hard to watch yourself on TV. It's definitely different in that the world has to watch, too.
-
We're all our own worst critics and so hard on ourselves, but for me, my biggest insecurity is my arms. I just hate the tops of them. I work out and they still never look good enough for me. So, over the years I've learned to dress to make myself feel better.
-
When I did the cover of 'Cosmo International,' Turkey picked it up and I got a lot of backlash for it.
-
I've had a lot of really influential people in my life, like my grandmother M. J., who have helped me along the way. But there are so many of us girls in my family, and even though they're all so open and honest, who I seek advice from depends on what aspect of life I'm dealing with.
-
I believe in lifestyle changes, and when you think of something long term, you do it better. If I know I just have to eat this way for a week, how does that help you for the long term? It doesn't.
-
I'm not rushing into my divorce, because I'm not looking to get married tomorrow, so I don't have a deadline. I'm not rushing it. So when it's time, and it's supposed to happen, it will.
-
I have moles and freckles, and they irritate me. They are an insecurity of mine, and I wish I could have clear, beautiful skin.
-
A lot of adults don't think it's their place to interfere with kids. I interfere all the time.
-
I think all diets are kind of weird. The word 'die' is in it.
-
I never looked at myself as the fat sister. Sometimes I would beat people to the punch and say, 'Oh I'm the fat, funny one,' because that's what people would say about me. But I never really thought that.
-
There is a method to the madness when it comes to placing everything in your refrigerator.
-
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.
-
I'm like a connoisseur of dry shampoo, so I'm really picky.
-
When you genuinely feel like that was the right relationship, you're supposed to give it all you can. That's what marriage is about.
-
The amount of things I want to tweet that I get talked out of? It's probably four times a week. I'm very hotheaded.
-
I even ate chips because I love the crunchy sound they make. And I didn't give much thought to what I was eating or what I was putting inside my body, except hummus, of course, which is one of my weaknesses.
-
I'm obsessed with cheese and milk, but eliminating them from my diet made the biggest difference. In a month and a half, I lost 11 pounds just from not eating dairy, without doing anything else different, and that totally blew my mind.
-
Once you start losing weight and seeing results, you're like, 'I want to see more!'
-
I normally like to do a lip pencil and then fill it in with the same pencil because it stays on all day, and you don't have to reapply it.
-
I was married for five years, and I definitely had that baby fever, which I think you should.
-
I know my soul is beautiful; I know I'm a good person. And that will never change for me.
-
If I'm cooking dinner for my hubby or designing a line or selling on QVC, I try to do it in an authentic way. To speak to people like I want to be spoken to, to be a voice for people who don't have one and to give them things they need and love.
-
I love watching 'Golden Sisters' on OWN.
