I'm only thirteen, so I have role-models! But I've sort of experienced... my sister has always been my role-model because I've always seen her.

I hope to be a good role model for my daughters.

I feel like I'm held more accountable to stay healthy now because now I'm a role model to young girls to not have eating issues and to not say, 'Hey, it's OK to starve yourself' or 'It's OK to throw up after your meals' - that's not OK.
