Shawn Johnson East is a celebrated gymnast and former Olympic champion who helped the United States team win the silver medal in 2008. Since then, Shawn has gotten married to football player Andrew East, and the two have welcomed a daughter, Drew Hazel East.

Shawn and her husband have a popular YouTube channel where they really dig into the details of their lives. Over the years, they’ve shared a lot of really personal stuff about themselves, their careers, and their relationship. On Saturday, Shawn took to YouTube to detail an epic struggle she faced following the Olympics.

In the video titled “Body Image Issues: 110lbs to Pregnant,” Shawn opens up about what life was like for her after the Olympics. The gymnastics career she had spent most of her life building was over, and she had to figure out what her next steps were.
