I would exercise constantly. I'd get up at 3:30 in the morning and exercise before school. I'd work out after school, and again before bed.

This is not just an intellectual exercise. The people who live and work here have an emotional commitment to Santa Monica, and can deliver a good service if they truly believe in it.

A person with an eating disorder will always say they're full, but I was always hungry. I liked feeling hunger because it felt like power.

I want people to know, it's OK to talk about it. It's hard, but it's OK to talk about it.

I had to go through therapy to learn to socialize and express my feelings. In a way, it was immature, and I had to grow up.

It kind of disguises the exercise. This is a great way to start the school year. This is one goal that we're all working on.
