At the age of 27, I thought making the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in New York was going to be my biggest challenge. I was one of hundreds who had auditioned to earn the coveted title of Radio City Rockette. I had made it through round after grueling round of auditions, watching my hopeful, leggy cohorts get snipped from the running. I was fortunate enough to make it to the final leg of the audition, callbacks, and measurements, before being told that I would be gracing the stage as one of the technically perfect Radio City Rockettes for the 2000 Christmas season.
What hid behind my smile and precision dance moves during those auditions was a secret: I was bulimic.
