COED Girl Of The Day: Tori Meehan, Oral Roberts (PHOTOS)

It’s Friday, November 15, so the time has come once again to take a look around the college world and appreciate some of the standout students and rising social media influencers at various colleges in the country for the COED Girl of the Day which features a college student that stands out among their peers. Today, we feature Tori Meehan, a grad student at Oral Roberts University.

Tori has previously competed in the Miss Oklahoma competition and is a cast member of season 3 of the online reality competition Sequester. The self-described superfan is competing in the game which brings together aspects of all of the most popular reality shows for a one-of-a-kind reality showdown.

She is putting together a strong audience on social media with more than 2,700 followers on Instagram.

Continue reading to find out why a 2-time Swimsuit Winner at Miss Oklahoma supports the organization's decision to eliminate the swimsuit phase of competition: The Swimsuit Competition was originally created to showcase each candidate's LIFESTYLE of health and fitness. However, the reality is that it actually caused the opposite and lead to unhealthy, unsustainable eating behaviors. When I first competed in Miss Oklahoma 4 years ago, I was so focused on what my body looked like in a swimsuit that I went to extreme lengths to try to achieve an ideal body type. I worked out 7 days a week for at least 2 hours. I tracked every calorie that I consumed. I stuck to a very strict meal plan. If I ate something I wasn't supposed to, I'd force myself to go to the gym and burn off the calories. On the outside I looked healthy because I had abs and muscles, but the truth is that I WAS MISERABLE. I repeat: I WAS MISERABLE. I was hungry all the time. I hated my workouts. I couldn't wait for the pageant to be over so that I could eat all of the things I was depriving myself of – ice cream, pizza, hamburgers, etc. I was counting down the days until my last workout, so I didn't have to step foot in the gym for several months. I didn't care about developing a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. All I cared about was looking good in a swimsuit on stage for one week during the competition. Sadly, the behaviors I mentioned are not uncommon among pageant girls. I didn't even mention the use of laxatives and diuretics for weight loss*! Girls take "water pills" (aka diuretics) during the week of the pageant, and every year someone gets dizzy or sick backstage due to dehydration caused by the diuretics. It has become normalized to take laxatives after a big meal to get rid of calories**. Tell me…… Does that sound healthy? or sustainable? or something you'd want modeled to young people? With the help of my sister who is a personal trainer, my dad who is a medical doctor, and my brother who is passionate about fitness, I was able to learn how to workout and eat healthy without resenting it / being miserable. Now, I workout 4 days a week for less than an hour. (finish reading in comments)

For anyone who thinks pageants* are superficial, irrelevant, outdated, or lame, here are a few reasons why I compete: • it paid for my undergraduate degree • it is currently paying for my Masters degree • I get to mentor two little girls through the Miss Oklahoma Star Program • I am regularly asked to volunteer in my local community at fundraising / charity events that support important causes • I get to speak to kindergarten through college students on my Social Impact Initiative entitled MINDSET: Total Health • I get to be an ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals *The term “pageant” is no longer used. Now it is called a competition.

One of my favorite parts of being Miss Tulsa is getting to be involved with so many amazing fundraisers in the Tulsa area. Tulsa is full of generous, passionate, servant-hearted people who are making a difference. Thank you @georgiatheperson for asking me to judge the food contest for Step Up to the Plate to Fight ALS. Thank you to everyone who came out and donated to such an important cause! With your help, we WILL find a cure for this disease. #StepUpToThePlate #ALS #MDA #MissTulsa
