You retain a lot of water. You feel really great one moment and then terrible another moment. That's the reason why I share because, in my Instagram Stories for instance, I'll say, 'I don't feel good today, but I want everyone else to know not to beat themselves up, to be kind to yourself and know that those days happen to everyone.'”

I have a son, a beautiful little miracle who I'll cherish the rest of my life and to not share this would be not sharing me.”
