She lost 145 pounds

At least Nadya Suleman isn't trying to pull the wool over our eyes: "OctoMom" said that she was in it for the money when she worked out and ate right to lose a huge amount of weight-- 145 pounds! While her interview on The View this week was uncomfortable, at least she was honest.

"The main reason was obviously revenue and I'm the first to admit it," Nadya admitted while on The View. "I'm very, very open and honest about that."

Nadya was studying for her master's degree in counseling when she got pregnant, and she only had a year left to go when she had to take a leave of absence.

"Every single hour of the day, I contemplate how I am going to do this, to be able to support them," she admitted.

"It is a Catch-22," she said. "If I go back to school ... I couldn't possibly earn enough money to take care of them ... So the only other option is to delve into other opportunities ... you know, doing interviews ... to make the money."

Nadya admitted that she was in "denial" about her problems, and that caused more trouble than it was worth-- but she also insists that she's not even a little crazy.

"I've asked myself that for years ... I was in denial for so many years thinking, 'Oh, I'm so smart ... I only have a year more for my master's ... I can do it all,'" she said.

What put up a red flag for me was asking Nadya if she was mentally unstable. Do you ask someone who could be crazy if they are crazy? They'll deny it in nearly every circumstance. What's your take on Nadya's situation? Check out her interview here - is she crazy?
