I'm Competitive With Myself. I Always Try

It Was Hard To Get Guys To Notice Me, Period, Because I Was So Skinny And All My Friends Were Curvy. Plus, I Used To Be Very Nervous In Front Of Guys.

In High School I Definitely Had A Clique Of Friends. And What I Loved About It Was That We Were Healthy And Good Girls.

It Was Really Hurtful To Me. I Get So Much Mail From Young Girls Who Say, 'i Look Up To You, You're Not As Skinny As Everyone Else, I Think You're Beautiful.' So When They Say That My Body Is 'ugly' And 'disgusting,' What Does That Make Those Girls Feel Like?

I Don't Like Looking At Awards Everyday Because I Feel Like They Can Make You Lazy. So, I Give Them To My Mom And Let Her Look At It Everyday. They Are Symbols Of The Hard Work She Put Into Me. Her Sacrifices Allowed Me And My Team To Win Those Awards. But I Don't Look At Any Awards Everyday.

When I Was A Young Girl, I Lost A Lot Of Weight Over One Summer - Involuntarily - And Was Just Really Depressed And Sad. There Was Nothing I Could Do To Gain Weight. I Would Look In The Mirror And Call Myself Disgusting Every Day.
