Kelly Redoutey recently won the Miss Ocala-Marion County beauty pageant. She will soon be competing for the Miss Florida title. Her goal is to use the attention she’s getting to raise awareness about eating disorders.

“It was something that I went through, so growing up it’s something that never leaves you, it’s a scar," Redoutey said. "So, it’s just important everyday you look in the mirror and just remind yourself that you’re comfortable with who you are.” [Source: WCJB-TV (Gainesville, FL)'

Redoutey raises awareness specially for a local charity called Helping Other People Eat, or HOPE. She plans to take her message to the Miss Florida competition and, if she’s lucky, on to the national stage as well.
