Biography

I really don't look back unless someone asks me to look back, and then I have to. Otherwise, why would I? I was attacked.

I just started shrinking, I'd put on makeup differently to sort of hide that I was wasting away. Strangers would say, Oh, that's not enough food on your plate.

[on the 1992 Winter Games] It felt like it was the first time I came out of my shell, If I saw someone at the cafeteria with a USA jacket on, I'd just go sit with them.

[on her eating disorder] I didn't realize what I was doing. I lost a whole bunch of weight before competing because I was working out for hours, it's a lot of work. Then realizing, Oh, I ate a banana today.

[on developing her eating disorder] I would avoid food because it was something I could do. I felt like I could control that and nothing else. I don't know why but that seemed like an accomplishment.
