Jersey Shore's Snooki has embarked on a new diet to re-gain her pre-partying body, but the pint-sized personality has plenty of weight-loss tricks up her sleave.
A childhood friend who attended Marlboro High School in Marlboro, New York with Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, tells Radar Online that the reality star used to worry about piling on the pounds as a teenager.
"She was always concerned about her weight," the pal says. "She would get hungry but instead of eating she'd suck on ice cubes for hours to avoid gaining weight."
