Supermodel Tyra Banks says she grew three inches and lost 30lbs in the space of three months when she was 11, which left her a target for bullies.
The 38-year-old beauty said: "When I was 11 years old, I grew three inches and lost 30 pounds in three months. So I went from being a mean bully, cute little chubby little girl to shooting up, [weighing] 98 pounds and just looking sick and frail.
"I wasn't sick, but people thought there was something wrong with me. I was the brunt of every joke, every bad thing. I hated my reflection in the mirror. I would try to stuff food down my throat to gain weight."
And although Tyra has enjoyed a successful modelling career, she admits she still has some insecurities.
The America's Next Top Model host told the Huffington Post Live, "Even though I later gained weight and became a supermodel, that girl always lived inside of me and I know what that felt like.
"I start projecting images that I know make my 11-year-old self insecure."
