Eating Disorder Research

Doesn’t it feel wonderful to be off anorexia? Brittany Snow certainly shows it. She has declared to OK! Magazine that she doesn’t like to think of it as a “diet.”

“It’s kind of like eating foods that I know aren’t going to talk to me after I eat them,” the actress explains. “If I eat a piece of pizza and afterwards I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe I ate that!’ I know ahead of time and I’m not going to eat it.”

Brittany Snow, a star in Hairspray, recently made headlines when she confessed about her long struggle with eating disorders. She also talked about pilates and going to the gym. Nothing like healthy exercise to make you feel whole again!

Hopefully, she can be an inspiration to her legion of fans. An admission of suffering from a problem is never an easy thing. Most of us would like to project a healthy image. But celebrities often have it hard. They have to face the press when they make an admission. Brittany Snow showed that she had the courage to overcome her condition and to eat chocolates so long as her body craved for them, revealed during the interview.

David Coulthard, the Formula One star, has gone public about his experience with the eating disorder bulimia. He revealed about how he started having bulimia in his teens when he was trying to break into racing.

He felt self conscious as he was tall at 6ft and wanted to look slim. In his autobiography, he revealed that “I stopped eating fattening food and, before I knew what had happened, I was bulimic.”

It is rare to have a sports athlete publicly reveal about any eating disorder behavior. Hopefully, more sports athletes can come forward to tell their battles with eating disorders. It is time for ordinary fans, like us, to get to know about the eating disorder secrets behind the glamor and the great looks.
