My 92-Pound Frame Was Labeled Obese, So I Stripped on Live TV

"Valerie Miller, 231 pounds. Severely obese."

The red digital numbers on the scale burned my eyes.

"There's a mistake. I only weigh 92 pounds."

"The machine doesn't lie, Valerie. You're disqualified."

Beside him, Chloe Sinclair—the nepotism baby of the industry—covered her mouth and giggled.
