Interesting story she has...

Let me start out by saying that I've been an athlete my whole life. Born June 6, 1980 with a hint of athletic ability, a love of sports, and a fear of nothing- I was placed in gymnastics at age 3. I continued with it for 10 years until I literally "grew" out of the sport. I spent high school playing basketball, running track, and diving at the varsity level. I took up lacrosse (my collegiate sport of choice) my junior & final year of high school, (I finished high school in 3 years). Unfortunately, years of being involved in a sport that emphasized a petite frame, coupled with my perfectionism & competitive nature, took a toll on my health. I struggled with eating disorders well into college, bottoming out at 79lbs. Through continued years of help from doctors, nutritionists, specialists, and family, I can now proudly say I have been healthy for 6 years. After growing 5 inches and topping out at 173lbs, I decided to lose weight the right way. To eat healthy (not diet) & exercise for my health, my body, myself.
