Demi Lovato

Not all celebrities have the best childhoods as far as their physical looks go. Demi was one such case. At age 4, she remembers looking at herself in the mirror and thinking she was fat. Her friends at school would bully her and would continue to call her “fat”. Not too many kids at that age realize the drastic consequences it can have on someone. By the time she was 12, she lost about 20 pounds after stopping eating altogether. But even that never seemed enough for society. In 2010, Lovato entered rehab as she suffers from bulimia and self-mutilation. Since then she seems very happy and healthy. The purpose she opened up regarding her time in rehab was to To help people around the world with similar problems to get out of there and get help. Well we have to admit Demi you look amazing!

Jessica Alba

Believe it or not, the gorgeous Jessica Alba was also known to have had an eating disorder. In 1999, she landed a role in a television series called Dark AngelJessica decided to train in order tokeep in shape. The obsession with looking thin eventually led to an obsession with skipping food, which is not advisable for anyone out there. It all eventually led to a battle with anorexia. She would starve herself and became obsessed with the gym and working out. Her weight then dropped to 100 pounds. In an interview with Glamor, Jessica said many girls had eating disorders, and so did she. She became incredibly addicted to it. She said when she noticed her girlish slim body morphing into a woman’s body with fat in certain places, she freaked out. She then got help and, with treatment, learned to overcome her fear of weight and save herself from becoming dangerously thin.

Portia de Rossi

Portia de Rossi is one of the few actresses who had the worst encounter with anorexia. There came a point when she dropped to 80 pounds and was only eating 300 calories a day. For Rossi, as for most actresses, the causes are deep-rooted and began when she was just 12 years old. Yes, she too had to deal with an eating disorder from an early age. After she joined the show Ally McBealHer situation got worse. There was a time when Portia’s friend told her that she looked like a normal, healthy woman. These words are said to have shocked her. Due to the constant societal norms, she believed that being healthy meant being chubby and being called a “woman” meant curvy. Rossi wanted to be really skinny from top to bottom. During the shooting of Who is Cletis Tout?, Portia collapsed on set and is said to have been suffering from cirrhosis, osteoporosis and organ failure! After going through the treatment for the various issues, Portia felt much better about her body and health. When she looks in the mirror she knows she’s not perfect, but still she’s totally fine with it. Well, Portia, we agree on that! Health should come before all other aspects.

Hilary Duff

We didn’t get stories about Hilary’s eating disorder out there much at the time. Lindsay Lohan and Mary Kate Olsen also faced similar issues. As a star kid, Hilary was subjected to silly societal norms that said she was fat. At the age of 17-19 she began to understand and understand what people were saying about her pictures and her weight. She then got quite thin while subsisting on cooked vegetables, grilled chicken and nothing else. Aside from that, Hilary was also touring around the globe a lot at the time, which further drained her. She soon realized how dangerous it was to not give her body the amount it actually needed. During an intervention by her sister about Hilary, she realized what she was doing to her body. She had dropped from 130 to 100 pounds in 2005. Then she relaxed into her eating and fitness routine. In an interview, she said that she no longer wanted to be skinny and was focusing on healthy eating instead of counting calories.

Jane Fonda

Jane was one of those kids who was born to a celebrity. Her father was an actor, Henry Fonda. From a young age, her father emphasized the importance of always looking good. He told her that what mattered was how she looked. She grew up in the 50’s. Apparently, Jane’s father sent a message that can be very detrimental to a child’s life. In the ’80s, Fonda was considered the queen of fitness (or exercise). Jane admitted that she has had bulimia since she was 21. In 1982 she started her training empire, which was the real reason for Jane’s recovery. She realized it was time to fully let go of her illness. She told herself she had a career; She worked with non-profit organizations, won awards and also had a family. She knew that unless she got over bulimia, it was a situation where she couldn’t die, and she did. Well done Jane, you are a great example for a lot of older women out there.

Russell Brand

It’s not common for a man to come clean about his eating disorders, but kudos to Russell. In an interview, Russell said he had bulimia since he was 14. He had trouble eating and was self-harming. Regarding his childhood, he said that it was quite lonely and difficult. It didn’t just stop for Brand. While in rehab for drug problems, Brand’s problem with food resurfaced. He soon realized that it was all about getting out of himself and his isolation. He knew he was uncomfortable and unhappy. Today, Brand works on his self-esteem and makes sure that he not only eats right but also stays healthy. take care fire; The world can’t lose another comedian. He also practices yoga regularly,

Elton John

Elton John was known for his cocaine addiction, but we were unaware of having an eating disorder. Not only did he tell the media about his eating disorder, but he also said that his friend Princess Diana is facing the same problem! Diana had told him it felt horrible running to the bathroom after dinner to throw up. However, both were glad that there were more people like them facing similar problems. Elton entered rehab in 1990 to be treated for bulimia and cocaine addiction.

Kesha

The popular singer, who produced hits about party and alcohol, had an eating disorder himself. Kesha wrote about her illness and rehab for an article in ELLE magazine. She said her mother flew her to rehab. She had no real drug problems. She also said that she was not very like the songs she wrote and was responsible for her career and life. Since she was a young girl, she was always told to stay as thin as possible. To achieve this, she constantly abused her body, depriving it of the nutrients it needed. During her stay in rehab, she said she was very scared. She was also very naturally concerned about what people on the outside might think of her. Kesha’s reason for enrolling in rehab, was also very obvious. She was returning from one of the longest tours she had ever done. She had done many of these before, but post-exhausting this one seemed particularly taxing. She couldn’t get up for days. She knew the reason immediately. Kesha then decided it was time for a change and started watching her diet and health. She is a happy soul now and believes in staying healthy rather than being skinny.

Jamie Sigler

of the SopranosJamie Sigler once contemplated suicide, she was tired of dealing with bulimia. Exercise Bulimia is just like bulimia, where you replace post-meal vomiting with constant exercise to lose weight. Chronic sports bulimia is accompanied by a strict and compelling focus on calories. A person suffering from bulimia would do anything to incorporate exercise into their daily routine, even if it means canceling meetings and working on them. The actress is now called Jamie-Lynn DiScala. Jamie said all of her trauma started in high school when her boyfriend broke up with her. She thought it was the way she looked or her body. Then she became obsessed with counting every calorie she ate and forced herself to Burn every calorie through intense exercise. She started walking on the treadmill about 20 minutes before school and decided to stop eating dessert. After watching her weight loss, she was even more encouraged and started walking on the treadmill an hour before school. She then woke up at 3am to exercise four hours before school and ate next to nothing! In no time Jamie was only 80 pounds. Soon after, she realized the damage could be fatal. She began changing her eating habits and exercised to gain weight. She is doing great now and leading a happy family life. Well done Jamie, we hope you never give up. running on the treadmill about 20 minutes before school and decided to stop eating dessert. After watching her weight loss, she was even more encouraged and started walking on the treadmill an hour before school. She then woke up at 3am to exercise four hours before school and ate next to nothing! In no time Jamie was only 80 pounds. Soon after, she realized the damage could be fatal. She began changing her eating habits and exercised to gain weight. She is doing great now and leading a happy family life. Well done Jamie, we hope you never give up. running on the treadmill about 20 minutes before school and decided to stop eating dessert. After watching her weight loss, she was even more encouraged and started walking on the treadmill an hour before school. She then woke up at 3am to exercise four hours before school and ate next to nothing! In no time Jamie was only 80 pounds. Soon after, she realized the damage could be fatal. She began changing her eating habits and exercised to gain weight. She is doing great now and leading a happy family life. Well done Jamie, we hope you never give up. She was even more encouraged and started walking on the treadmill an hour before school. She then woke up at 3am to exercise four hours before school and ate next to nothing! In no time Jamie was only 80 pounds. Soon after, she realized the damage could be fatal. She began changing her eating habits and exercised to gain weight. She is doing great now and leading a happy family life. Well done Jamie, we hope you never give up. She was even more encouraged and started walking on the treadmill an hour before school. She then woke up at 3am to exercise four hours before school and ate next to nothing! In no time Jamie was only 80 pounds. Soon after, she realized the damage could be fatal. She began changing her eating habits and exercised to gain weight. She is doing great now and leading a happy family life. Well done Jamie, we hope you never give up. changing their eating habits and exercising to gain weight. She is doing great now and leading a happy family life. Well done Jamie, we hope you never give up. changing their eating habits and exercising to gain weight. She is doing great now and leading a happy family life. Well done Jamie, we hope you never give up.

Snooki

You may remember Snooki from the Jersey Shore . Snooki was referred to as a meatball during the show. Soon after, Snooki became clear about the problems she faced when she was in high school. She was a cheerleader and like any other cheerleader, Snooki was forced to stay skinny. She barely ate to stay thin. At first she only ate a salad and a cracker to make her feel full. It then came down to eating a cracker and later eating just one grape a day! Eventually, the vicious circle of not eating for three days. It was a really bad time for her and it was also very difficult to get out. Now, even though she’s a bit chubby, we think it’s better than just having bones. Stay strong Snooki!

Katharine McPhee

The American Idol star suffered from bulimia from the age of 17. She vomited almost six to seven times a day. At the age of 22 she was cast in American Idol and that’s when she knew she had to change. In an interview with PEOPLE, she said that bulimia and the excessive vomiting can damage her vocal cords so badly that she may not be able to sing. With the support of her parents and boyfriend, she went to eating disorder rehab, where she spent three months in group and individual therapy, six days a week. Simon Cowell from American IdolSecond placed Katharine called “the best of the competition”. At such times, the support of close associates is very important and Katharine was fortunate. We are very proud of you Katharine.
