I got addicted to the MTV Challenges when I was 10. I would sneak downstairs after my bedtime to watch it. I was a badass.

Body Image Issues: 6-Year-Old Girl Worries She Is Fat

By ANDREA CANNING (@andreacanGMA) and GARY WYNNJune 20, 2011

Taylor Call is a healthy, active 6-year-old pre-kindergarten student who lives outside of Houston. By all outward appearances, she's a normal little girl who likes to play princess and has an outgoing, easy personality. But about a year ago, Taylor came home from school and said something that shocked her mother, Tanya Call.

"We were at home and she just out of the blue said, 'Mommy, why is my tummy so fat? ... A girl in the bathroom at school asked me why I was fat,'" she said.

A 2009 University of Central Florida study found that nearly half of the 3- to 6-year-old participants said they worried about being fat.Meanwhile, the number of eating disorder hospitilzations for kids under age 12 more than doubled between 2000 and 2006, according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).

Taylor told "Good Morning America" that she wanted to lose weight.
