Having an eating disorder can change your perspective on life – or at least it has for these 6 stars, who learned about food and their relationship with it the hard way. From anorexia to bulimia, these stars have all had at least a minor problem with eating, and have now spoken about it and also given advice to others who may be in the position they were in back then.
Alanis Morissette
Singer Alanis Morissette felt that her eating disorder happened as a result of being too famous too young: “As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic, I was a young woman in the public eye, on the receiving end of a lot of attention, and I was trying to protect myself from men who were using their power in ways I was too young to know how to handle. Disappointment, sadness and pain hit me hard, and I tried to numb those feelings through my relationship with food. For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee, I began recovering at 18, when a sweet friend confronted me.”
