Shawn Johnson Talks Weight Loss and Learning to Love Her Body

Sean Duffy — Fri, 25 May 2012 10:05:26 +0000

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from espnW here on FitSugar! By Shawn Johnson Shawn Johnson is blogging for espnW throughout her training for the Olympics in London this summer. Follow hers other Olympic hopefuls’ journeys on espnW.com . Four years ago, I was standing on an Olympic podium, wearing a gold medal, and still thinking to myself how I could have been better. It had nothing to do with my performance – it was all how I looked. Back then, I always felt like I could have been a few pounds lighter. But the irony is, when I look back at the pictures, I look unhealthy and too thin. It’s easy to get into a trap as an elite athlete, because you’re made to feel that you’re never perfect, that you can always be better. That’s how you improve in your sport, but it’s also tough because you aren’t satisfied with yourself ever – it’s second nature not to be. I’d always think, “Just get a little stronger, a little lighter,” until it was completely ingrained in my mind. Shawn Johnson takes us inside training camp It’s easy for people to blame gymnastics for this mentality, but I feel like the sport has improved a lot. The horror stories we heard from generations ago (think Joan Ryan’s infamous book Little Girls in Pretty Boxes ), you don’t hear at all anymore. But I do believe it can improve further and that good nutrition could be a key to all of this, if it were only taught at a young age. Many gymnasts go into the elite level at 13 or so, and a 13-year-old isn’t going to go to the library to read some book on nutrition! She needs to be given the right information on how to eat well. Otherwise, it’s not until she’s out of the sport that she realizes the damage she’s done to her body by not eating enough over the past 20 years. Shawn Johnson in the driver’s seat I see all the success we have as a country where the gymnasts aren’t 100 percent healthy, and I imagine how amazing we could be if we were doing it in the healthiest way possible. I don’t think it’s a failure on anybody’s part; the education just isn’t there right now, and it’s just not thought about in our sport. My parents have told me since I was little, “You’re given your body for a reason. It’s OK to be different. Being unique is a good thing.” But I always struggled to believe it. I’m stocky, muscular and short, and I wanted to be thin and flexible so bad! My mom would say, “You’re not made that way, and you’re not going to become that, so you have to learn to accept and love the body you’re in.” Well, some people are born with that appreciation, and some people have to work really hard to get there. Put me in that second camp. Read on for more on what Shawn Johnson has to say about body confidence and how she feels in her gymnastics leotard.
