“The day we stop dreaming, our spirit begins to die. Never let anyone dictate their terms to you.”
Biography of Torrey
Torrie Wilson was born on July 24, 1975 in Boise, Idaho. She describes herself as “painfully shy” child. While studying at school, the girl avoided communication with other children and was very unsociable.
However, this did not stop Torrey from participating in school activities such as cheerleading, dance, and later track meets. Torrey really enjoyed the spirit of competition and the excitement of fighting.
Model agency and anorexia
However, as Torrie entered high school, her interest in sports and dance became less and less. Instead, she became interested in modeling, and her mother even convinced Torrie to make it her career.
Eventually, Torrie and her mother decided to visit a modeling agency one day and see where it would lead. To their surprise, the agency informed them that Torrie had too much body fat and would need to lose weight in order to be hired.
Torrie decided she would start losing weight, but in the process she became so obsessed with her appearance that she began to suffer from anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
Overcoming Disorders
After bouts of depression and many ups and downs on her road to recovery, Torrie finally began to take control of her life at age 20—six years after she first began struggling with serious mental health and eating disorders.
It was fitness that helped Torrie overcome her disorders – through weight lifting and six balanced meals a day, Torrie was able to regain control over her body and mind.
Fitness athlete

The girl made her full debut in the show under the nickname “Samantha” signed a contract and performed for a female wrestling group called Vince’s Devils.
Workout

She says both have their advantages and disadvantages; therefore, combining them gives her the best results.
Nutrition
