6 Celebs Speak on Their Eating Disorders

Portia de Rossi 

Portia de Rossi suffered from anorexia:  “It wasn’t that I was proud of it, but it was certainly a recognition for my self-control. I definitely had some pretty amazing willpower to get down to 82 pounds. And that’s what I was holding onto to. I didn’t think about anything else.”

 Ashlee Simpson

Ashlee Simpson said she had a “minor” eating disorder when she went to ballet school: “When I went to ballet school, I was around a lot of girls with eating disorders, and I actually had a minor one myself. It was about six months of not eating too much at all. I was 11 and five foot, two inches and about 70 pounds. My parents stepped in and made me eat.”
