Body image Quote by Kim Brittingham

![“I get a lot of flak for it... people saying [my body] is not normal for a girl... But I'm okay with it. I think it's because I was a gymnast for eight years, from ages four to 12. My body was made before my bones were fully grown. Gymnasts are short, stocky, muscular powerhouses.” quote by Pink](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e11/pink-2472_age_i-get-a-lot-of-flak-for-it-people-saying_54922.jpg)
