She was raised in the Pacific Northwest, and became interested in sports while attending Gresham High School. Fuller competed in Track and Field and, by the time she graduated in 1986, she was also the Water Polo State Champion.
Playing sports, Fuller realized that she was exceptionally strong and after high school decided to focus on bodybuilding. Working out at a local gym, Fuller began training and quickly transformed herself, adding 20 lb (9 kg) to her 123 lb (56 kg) frame.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim—objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
