“I felt like dying. I know how it is. I have weighed 400 pounds before. I had relatives who died of obesity and things like that,” she recounted.

The weight gained was cause for concern for the athlete’s health: “I’m afraid of those things, I stopped eating, I’m afraid, I saw what the people in my family went through. That’s my biggest fear: obesity.”

Later, he sentenced: “We are all going to die, one day, of course. When I look in the mirror, I see those little marks on my face. And I’m like, ‘wow, my expiration date is coming up real soon.’
