We were only on orbit a little over two days, so we had no adverse effects from being weightless.

The very gradual reductions in my weight which I am able to show, may be interesting to many, and I have great pleasure in stating them, believing that they serve to demonstrate further the merit of the system pursued.

I've never been a size zero, let me say that here and now. I've never been that sort of person.

I started with nothing. Zero.

Weightlessness is a wonderful experience. It feels like magic. It really does.

I was lightweight - that was the whole point of me.

I don't want to be size zero and I'm glad I'm not.

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.

When I became of service to other people I stopped worrying about my weight so much.
