I was in the middle of a crossroads, which is a nice way of saying crisis, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You know the physical part. We just talked about it.

I think for a couple of years I was believing that I was doing it all on my own and I wasn't.

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family.

No, I don't want to exercise all the time. I still despise it, not at all.

Oh, definitely and you know you take the bitter with the sweet but the benefits far outweigh the burdens of what I've been able to do for my family, my word.

Sometimes when, you know, God tries to correct you in private and if you don't catch it he'll correct you in public.

I was a prosecutor in Brooklyn in the homicide division and then as a senior assistant district attorney.

Yes and, you know, I can't use the nice words anymore because I used to chicken out by using them. I used to call myself plus size, used to call myself chubby. I used to call myself overweight.

Not really in all honesty because until you take control of your own health and go to your own doctor and have your own doctor tell you what's going to work for you.

In all honesty my cake was baking when I met Al - I had made up in my mind already to get physically healthy. He refreshingly was on his own journey so it was almost as if we walked together.

I realized that in those nine seasons I started out at about 225 pounds and I felt, you know, full figured fabulous woman but in those seasons I gained 75 pounds up to over 300 pounds all in front of the nation.

I'm fairly in tune with what's private with my husband and with me.

I can get whatever I want to eat and when you, you know, you forget to eat you sometimes pick up fast food.

Yes, I know and then in the same time period within those nine years I lost 150 pounds.

I want the big drama. I always said I don't want a wedding I want a parade.

I want people to make the same choice I made to get healthy.

I had started losing weight. I mean he didn't know anything about the journey that I was on at that point obviously but from my highest weight of just over 300 pounds I lost about 45 pounds.

This is the time that I really miss being in my courtroom because I believe that that's the last place in this country where there's supposed to be fairness.

My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes, baby.

The toughest part was doing it in front of the world and recognizing that you had gotten to a point where if you didn't do something you were going to die.

You can have financial strength, professional strength, emotional strength but for me without spiritual strength none of the rest of it matters.

I felt good full figured. Morbidly obese I was unhealthy and dying.

Both politicians and journalists face situations which strain their honesty and humanity. My opinion is that politicians on the average stand up somewhat better than journalists.

It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.

And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
