I was lightweight - that was the whole point of me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I felt very comfortable about myself when I was much heavier. I feel much better about myself from being fit.
Weight is something I've battled all my life.
Partly I resented being perceived as weak because I was a girl.
I was always a thin kid; I was an athlete.
I was more of a weightlifter.
I was heavy as a kid. I mean, I kind of got it together for a while there in my 20s and early 30s.
Weight is just not a hot button. In fact, during my life, it probably should have been on my radar screen a bit more. I look back at work photos and am shocked. Was I eating the people I was interviewing?! Good Lord, I was big.
My weight has been one of the most challenging things that I've had to deal with throughout my career.
Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of them have been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror or how I felt about myself.
I was always the second heavy.
