It took years of mental anguish, avoidance and self-medicating with food before tennis-superstar Seles was able to recover from her on-court stabbing, the cancer diagnosis of her father (coach and best friend) and his eventual death. In her new book "Getting a Grip: On My Body, My Mind, My Self" and in an interview with AOL Health, she explains how injuries that left her sidelined gave her time to remember and celebrate her father, and how she ate mindfully and eventually lost the weight she gained as a result of emotional and binge eating. Learn what life is like after making it to the top, and how Seles stays in mental and physical shape these days.
