I wish I could view the belly that oozes over the top of my pants as a badge of maternal honor. I do try.

I've had agents tell me, 'You're not gonna be on the cover of anything; you're a catalog girl.' I've had clients tell me, 'You're too fat, and we can't book you any more because you don't fit into the jeans.'
