This is my breakfast: Two poached eggs, turkey bacon, and a half avocado. The yolks in a poached egg are alkalizing. Avocados are a great source of fat and vitamin E; great for your skin.

You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
I was muscular – I was never overweight. But tell a girl that she has to lose 15 pounds when she’s not fat, and that has destroyed a lot of who I am over the years, even still. In my mind I’m thinking, ‘I’m always too heavy. I should be a skinny thing.’
