"'My body carried me,' Elizabeth Smart says. Now she's celebrating it.

(. . .)

For Smart, bodybuilding isn't about the trophies. Yet, four competitions and several medals in, she's earned something she never expected: confidence in her body.

'I'm at a point in my life where I want to celebrate it,' Smart says, 'I don't want to carry shame about my body.'

(. . .)

In 2002, Smart was just 14 years old when a self-proclaimed prophet abducted her at knifepoint from her Salt Lake City bedroom while she slept beside her younger sister.

(. . .)

For months, the world watched the search for her unfold. Her face was plastered across television screens and the front pages of newspapers. All the while, she was living in the woods just miles from her home.

Now, at 38, Smart remembers the ways she tried to survive the nine months she was held captive and repeatedly sexually assaulted. She endured frequent humiliation and psychological manipulation.

Smart attends a ceremony April 30, 2003 at the White House. President George W. Bush signed into law the Amber Alert package which would create a system to help find kidnapped children and impose tougher penalties on child abusers, kidnappers and pornographers.

In her latest book, *Detours*, Smart describes trauma as a detour — a path you never planned for and never wanted. She's says she survived captivity in part by holding onto small memories and moments that reminded her that her life existed outside those woods."

10 Shocking Bombshells from “Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart ”(Including How She Was Nearly Rescued Months Earlier)

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://people.com/bombshells-from-kidnapped-elizabeth-smart-11888819

"There will be victims and survivors who watch this, and I hope they realize they’re not alone, and that they don’t have to be ashamed of what happened to them. And I hope that people who watch this can gain compassion and understanding for other families who are going through this. I also hope it brings comfort that there are happy endings — and that even after terrible things happen, you can still have a wonderful life." -Elizabeth Smart
