Replying two years later! I love Kathryn Morgan - a beautiful girl and amazing dancer who, happily, has just got engaged.

She went through a terrible time with undiagnosed Hashimoto's - steadily gaining weight despite rehearsing all day, every day and also performing onstage for hours most evenings. As you can imagine she was utterly exhausted all the time. Typically her gain was most evident around her middle. Eventually she had to resign from New York City Ballet, thus pretty much ending what had been an increasingly dazzling career. Through no fault of her own she lost everything.

Now she has youtube channels, her own website, and is performing again with her own tiny 'company'. She's losing weight and continues to work very hard to get fit and healthy. I admire her greatly x
