“We’ve been raised in a culture where we’re being made to feel guilty about everything, especially food,” she said. “People are always telling us you should eat that. You shouldn’t eat that. This is right, this is wrong – we’re always being told what to do. It’s really important to eat what you love and eat what you enjoy – I find happiness in that.

“We’re only here once; we’re not doing this again, so remove some of that guilt. People ask me: ‘What’s your guilty pleasure?’ I say I don’t associate guilt with food. I spent my whole life trying to fit into my clothes, and I don’t care any more. I’m not meant to fit into clothes; my clothes are meant to fit me. We have to remove the guilt from it and I’m all about that.”
