“I’m going to adopt. I can’t handle doing that to my body,” Michaels tells Women’s Health magazine.<\/p>\n

Jillian Michaels is 5’2″ and 120 pounds. For those who are not that familiar with her story, she was overweight as a teenager. In fact, she said she was 175 pounds as a 12-year-old child. It coincided with the split of her parents.<\/p>\n

“I was an only child at the time, so there was nowhere to go with any of it,” she recalls. “I felt abandoned.”<\/p>\n

But, she fought through it and lost the weight with martial arts<\/a>, something she has done passionately for 20 years.<\/p>\n

In the interview, The Biggest Loser<\/a> trainer reveals that she dates both men and women.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been in love with both,” she said.<\/p>\n
