"What Iâ€™d like to teach my daughter about self-image and self-esteem is that youâ€™re beautiful on the inside and the outside, and not to get obsessed with pictures that are out there in magazines of skinny models.Â I had an eating disorder in college and wanted to look like those models and be thin.Â So Iâ€™ll probably share that experience with her and let her know that youâ€™re beautiful just the way you are."

-- Dara Torres
