Stars “I had scars on my fingers”: how the stars fought bulimia and won

Laura Prepon

The Orange Is the New Black star opened up about her battle with bulimia in her just-released book about motherhood. The actress admitted that her mother, who forced the girl to lose 12 kilograms at the age of 15 before casting models, is to blame. Problems with food accompanied Laura until she was almost 30 years old.

The singer told her story in the Miss Americana documentary: “I hate looking at my pictures every day… There have been a few times where I’ve seen a belly that’s too big in the picture… or someone has said I’m pregnant. and it made me stop eating.”

“I’ve had an eating disorder since I was eight, and I still feel it,” Demi recalls. In 2010, she was treated for bulimia at the clinic.

The singer recalls how she suffered from bulimia as a teenager. This happened after she was replaced in the musical by a thinner and less talented girl: “I thought I would come back slim and cool – and get the part. It was stupid and I struggled with bulimia for the next six months.”

The actress said in her autobiography that she once went on a 300-calorie-a-day diet and lost up to 40 kilograms! “Can’t say I’m proud of it, but what self-control!” she is smiling.

The British singer recalls how she fought with herself: “I was running to the toilet after every meal, it was terrible… People said how great I looked, I got on the covers of magazines, but I was deeply unhappy.”

One of the Spice Girls soloists spoke about her problems with bulimia: “It’s not about the food itself or the figure, but about how to cope with life’s difficulties. At one time it helped me to discuss an issue with other people who understand what I’m talking about.

The Westworld actress shared her story: “Bulimia was my nightmare for about a year. I had scars on my fingers – I ran them down my throat so often and far. Now I see a joyful and happy person in the mirror.

According to her own words, after losing weight, Čechová’s figure worsened, but in the end she managed to achieve harmony with herself.

In 2017, model and lover Timati published the book “Today I woke up differently”, in which she talked about her problems with food: “I could eat five chocolates, two hamburgers and wash it all down with Coca-Cola. For me, this dish was the highest degree of gastronomic triumph.

From a young age, Reshetova had bouts of bulimia and self-hatred due to malnutrition. However, he has not mentioned this topic recently.
