It's also something scary because if you're doing stuff that doesn't sound like anything else, I think a lot of people get scared of that.

I was muscular - I was never overweight. But tell a girl that she has to lose 15 pounds when she's not fat, and that has destroyed a lot of who I am over the years, even still. In my mind I'm thinking, 'I'm always too heavy. I should be a skinny thing.'
