They shoulda called me Little Cocaine, I was sniffing so much of the stuff! My nose got big enough to back a diesel truck in, unload it, and drive it right out again.

Little Richard

I've never had body issues, I've never had an eating disorder. I've never had to go on a diet and that's because of Weight Watchers.
