I was terrified. My first week, walking around in a teeny bikini, I kept crossing my arms over my chest because I was afraid I was going to fall out of the top of the suit. And I didn't know anything about technique or lighting.

I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.

I was really excited to get to shave my head - it's something I'd wanted to do for a while and now I had a good excuse. It was nice to shed that level of vanity.

I had my moments when I got very frightened that I would not recover.

I'm very happy. I was little scared because it's such a big bite.

I knew that my hair was falling out and I had really weird skin. My face looked really weird and I was getting this fuzz on my face and I was always cold - always to the point of uncontrollably shaking. I was more scared that 85 lbs. wasn't good enough. I wanted to be lower.

I think I was a bit frightened of having to be a grownup and tried to put that off for as long as I could.

When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident.

I was in good control of my body, and I kept my head still.
