"There is a lack of knowledge and accountability when it comes to obesity."
She added, "For me, there are no excuses. When people text me saying it is their friend's birthday or they are at a wedding — that is not an excuse to be off-plan. Your health is more important and you can celebrate after."
She also said, "If people come to me with excuses, I will challenge them and I will stick to that. People need to be held accountable. They need to know it is not OK to get off-plan."
Vaughan also said, "There is a lack of knowledge and accountability when it comes to obesity. People use excuses that they are traveling, at family occasions or on [vacation] — that is not an excuse."
