Weight Is Just Not A Hot Button.

If It Weren't For My Breast Cancer, I Wouldn't Be A 'today' Host. After I Got Better, I Talked To My Boss About Working On The Show. Six Months Before, I'd Have Been Terrified To Go In There And Ask For What I Wanted. But After What I'd Been Through, How Could I Be Scared Of Being Told No?

I've Had Weight Issues All My Life. I've Been On All The Diets: Atkins, Liquid Protein, Scarsdale Diet. Now I Go To The Gym Often. I'm Always On The Stairmaster, And I Do Weights.

When My Shoes Are Killing Me, I Take A Maxi Pad And Put It In The Bottom Of My Shoe. It Is Better Than Any Dr. Scholl's Insert. That Fashion Tip Has Saved Me Through Some Long Nights.

I'm Good At Picking Friends.

I Wake Up At 4:15 A.m., Get Some Coffee, Turn On The News, See What's Happening, Go Clickety-clack On The Web To See What I Missed Overnight. Then I Go To The Gym, Around 5:15, And I Do What Appears To Be A Very Light Workout, But Who Cares. I'm Socializing With Other Nice People At The Gym. Then I Go Into Work, And I'm Really Awake.
