Looking good, and feeling good, and being positive, and being in the right set of mind to accept whatever comes your way.
Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves-and accept us that way.

Other than that, I'm not going up there trying to be a fitness model.
