Don’t quit. It takes only one person to tell you yes, and when they do, be ready to step up to the plate. Confidence is everything. If you want it, you have to work for it.

Words to live by:
I always say you don’t have to be skinny to be sexy. I love my curves and I wouldn’t have it any other way. If I had to choose, I would still have my thick thighs and stretch marks any day. You have to love who you are.
