Former Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson recently sat down for an interview with Yahoo Health, where she opened up about her past eating disorder. The site quotes her as follows:
“I’ve kind of gone through the gamut when it comes to health. I’ve hit lows with — I don’t want to say diagnosed eating disorders — but eating disorders. And then I’ve gone the other way, where I’ve rejected fitness. [I’ve] kind of gone through the whole education system, all the nutritionists, and now I’m finally healthy.”
On doing Dancing With the Stars:
“When I first went on [DWTS], I was 16, and I turned 17 on the show,. Going from this strict, regimented schedule to going through puberty on national TV and gaining weight, and just being kind of a huge target for criticism, was just really difficult for me.”
On what she's learned:
“The most important thing that I would have wished had been ingrained in me when I was little is: Everything in moderation. It’s OK to have cookies. It’s OK to have ice cream. It’s OK to indulge — or not. Everything in moderation.”
