Many women who have anorexia put their hearts in a compromised situation.
Carre Otis
I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.
Carre Otis
I had dropped out of school and was a runaway, so I didn't have family to fall back on if I didn't work. I didn't have a lot of other options of making money other than modeling.
Carre Otis
But I would assert that despite the wide variety of yoga options and individual preferences, there is one universal element: the union of consciousness and movement, breath and awareness.
Carre Otis
I've learned to surround myself with women who lift me up and leave me feeling nurtured rather than drained.
Carre Otis
I am a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. I am a friend of women and I am their advocate.

Being born and raised as a Californian, I somewhat ignorantly had taken for granted the diversity and liberal mindset that shaped my childhood and adult life.
Carre Otis
I had been on this insane diet for almost 17 years to maintain the weight that was demanded of me when I was modeling. My diet was really starvation. I am not naturally that thin.
Carre Otis
From the time I started school, it was clear to everyone that I wasn't learning at the same pace as other kids.

Carre Otis
My days are jam-packed with carpools, classroom assistance, tending to chickens, dogs and seven acres of olive trees!
Carre Otis
My daughters, your daughters, our daughters deserve safety, protection, and the freedom to make their own choices about their personal lives and their physical selves.
Carre Otis
I think that we can't deny the public's want for balancing out the images that are out there depicting women. Not all of us are 17 and a size two.
Carre Otis
I delight in my family obligations, but they leave little time for breaks let alone quick trips across the country.
Carre Otis
My doctor felt that the main contributing factor was so many years of malnutrition, especially during my formative years, even before I got into modeling.
Carre Otis
I'm proud that today, at 43 years old, I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.
Carre Otis
When you become a parent, it's not all about you anymore.
Carre Otis
But life inevitably throws us curve balls, unexpected circumstances that remind us to expect the unexpected. I've come to understand these curve balls are the beautiful unfolding of both karma and current.
Carre Otis
I am not naturally that thin, so I had to go through everything from using drugs to diet pills to laxatives to fasting. Those were my main ways of controlling my weight.
