“I used to have a very unhealthy relationship with food. When I was in high school, I ran track. I was very muscular. The one thing people would tell me would help me run faster is if you end up losng weight. So I just took it to a whole other level. I ended up struggling with bulimia. Athletic scholarship, and going to college, and I got hurt, and I decided, ‘okay, I don’t wanna do this anymore. I wanna try to stop struggling with bulimia.
I ended up then developing BED, binge eating disorder, where I was just binge eating. You know, fast forward to I got into CrossFit and for the first time I saw these women that had these big beautiful muscles. They were doing amazing things with their bodies. And I was finally in this environment where how my body was naturally made, it was for a good thing.”
