At the age of 13, Sterling was a cheerleader and cross country runner. One day her uncle commented that she was getting a roll around her belly. Sterling became obsessed about her weight. She stopped eating and when she did eat, purging was the option. She was losing weight beyond what was normal while still competing and running until the point where she mutilated herself and ended up in an institution. Sterling was 5’7″ and weighed 95 pounds. Her body started to shut down. She stopped menstruating and the doctors warned her that she may never be able to have children. Her miraculous recovery is truly an inspiring story to all youth. The moral of the story? – “One small unkind word can have devastating effects on another person’s life.”
