I was thin in high school and then I gained weight. I went to a nutritionist. I learned for the first time about what things are healthy to eat, basically.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a kid, I was always very thin, and I kind of didn't know that I was skinny.
I definitely gain weight, and I'm not naturally thin.
I was always thin. I guess I have good genes, so I never worried too much about my weight.
I had no idea about nutrition. I thought by eating salads you'll stay skinny.
It's not about being thin, it's about being healthy. And when you are a child you like to eat all these unhealthy things like chocolate and sweets. Oh my God. I love strawberries dipped in chocolate and Lion bars and Toffee Crisps - and as you grow up, you have to learn that those things are only good in moderation or you will become very fat.
Well, it's very easy for me to gain weight, but even though I tried not eating for a week when I was really young, I couldn't do it any longer because I liked my food too much.
I learned how to cook, began reading books on food. I began to understand about nutrition. It never had occurred to me that what you ate could affect how you felt. It could affect your health. It seems obvious now, but at age 23 or 22 or whatever I was, it wasn't obvious at all.
I was very skinny, but that was just my natural build. I always ate sensibly - being thin was in my genes.
I don't think I got thin. I think I got healthy.
I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.
