It is so frustrating how skaters will internalize the weight issue, men and women. From the interview with Shawn Sawyer linked in post 9:
At the time, when he didn't make his jumps or when his performance was not up to snuff, Shawn blamed his weight. He believed he had not done enough. And when he succeeded, he attributed his success to weight loss. (original in French, translation mine).
