Candy wrote a children's book called "Dream Star," based on a story she used to tell her sister. It's about "a little star who is sad because his light doesn't shine as brightly as all the other stars," but "learns the power of his purpose."

Rather than her cycle of binge-eating and excessively working out from before, now Candy eats a healthy diet, runs and uses resistance training to fuel her energetic life.

Candy used to be a compulsive shopper with a closet full of clothes that included several sizes for her fluctuating weight. Now, she's in the best shape of her life.
