Marcie's battle with weight began when she decided to try modeling as a teen. She explains: "I was only 5'5", but many people encouraged me to go for it, so I thought, 'What the heck?' That's where the problem started. There I was, a 14-year-old (in a size 7), dieting because the agents told me I was too heavy. From then on I kept thinking of myself as fat...the self-fulfilling prophecy came to pass."
