“Confident people have a way of carrying themselves that makes others more attracted to them.” – Sofia Vergara

“I’m a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn’t know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent, but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.” – Sofia Vergara

3 Life Lessons from Sofia Vergara Let’s take a look at some of the strongest lessons we can learn from her:

1. Confidence is Key She is funny, smart, gorgeous and an actress in one of the most popular shows on TV, so we understand this woman’s confidence.

Sophia knew that confidence was key even before she got famous. So ignore that little voice in your head telling you that you are not good enough because you definitely are!

2. Embrace Yourself Sofia Vergara is proud of her curves and embraces herself for who she is and the way she looks.

Now we all can see that this woman is in great shape, but living in the public eye and especially in Hollywood, having curves is not always highly appreciated. So no matter what size you are, embrace yourself!

3. Dress For You If we were all honest with ourselves we know that 9 out of 10 times we want to look good for other people and not just ourselves. We often care what people think of us based on what we choose to wear. Sofia made it very clear that she dresses for herself and does not follow trends.

She knows a lot of women don’t like the way she dresses, but her clothes make her feel good and as long as she is having a good time and is enjoying herself, she does not care what other people think. So, never forget to do what makes you happy!

Coping with surgery, treatment, and follow-up appointments was hard enough. But today, as her Hollywood career blossoms with roles on ABCs "Dirty Sexy Money" and the new movie Tyler Perrys Meet The Browns, opening this month, the 35-year-old single mom wants people to know that cancer can be conquered. Health recently caught up with Vergara while she was waiting to board a plane to Los Angeles.

HEALTH: You kept your illness a secret at first. Why? Sofia Vergara: I didnt want publicity because of that. Having cancer is not fun. You dont want to deal with anything else while youre going through it.

How did you learn you had cancer? Because I have a family history of type 1 diabetes—my five siblings have it—I know what its like to have injections every day and to have craziness happen to your body. So I took my son to an endocrinologist to be checked out early. While we were there, the doctor wanted to check me, too, and he found a lump in my neck.

What was your reaction? I felt no symptoms, so I was skeptical about having my thyroid gland removed. Plus, the surgery is dangerous. If the doctor makes a mistake, you can lose your speech, or the mobility in your face. But I did it.

And now you have to take thyroid hormone forever? Yes, I take a Synthroid pill every morning. It controls your bodys metabolism and gives you the levels that you need. An unregulated thyroid can lead to problems with your weight, hair loss, and other things, so they give me a blood test every three months to see where my level is. Actually, I feel very lucky. In a lot of women, the cancer isnt found until around menopause—and by then its too late.

What about chemo or radiation? A little cancer remained after surgery, so I had iodine radiation. Its not that bad. But you cant see anybody for a few days. Youre radioactive.

Where was your son during all this? I was living in Miami, and my mom and some of my siblings were there, too. They took care of my son, who was about 10 at the time. I tried to explain to him what was happening, so he was aware.

What was the recovery like? Your neck is so sensitive. You cant make any strong movements, so for two months I couldnt drive. Your life stops for a while. I had a scar, but plenty of things can be done with scars these days. Theyve used lasers and cortisone injections. Its not as noticeable as it was.

Have you changed your lifestyle due to your cancer? For a while, I got really crazy about what I was eating. But then you realize you cant live like that. You go to restaurants, and you have to eat something. You have to live your life. And no one really knows exactly how people get cancer.

How did cancer change you? When you go through something like this, its hard, but you learn a lot from it. Your priorities change. You dont sweat the small stuff. And it had a good ending.

Youve tried to help families touched by cancer in your native country of Colombia. How? Through the charity I sponsor, were building a cancer center in my hometown of Barranquilla. I visited the cancer ward of a hospital in Colombia, and parents were just sitting on the floor while their kids were being treated. When youre a mother and your kid is sick, you feel it yourself. I want to set up a comfortable place for parents.
