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.
