Kelly Clarkson suffered from bulimia at school. The American Idol winner developed the eating disorder when she was turned down for a part in a musical at her school. Clarkson told CosmoGirl, "I thought if I came back and I was cuter and thinner - then I'll get the role." The 25 year-old singer lived with the problem for six months, until her friends discovered her illness and made her seek help. Clarkson added, "One of my guy friends caught on to it, and I just felt so ashamed and embarrassed. I literally went cold turkey and snapped out of it." Now that her battle with bulimia is over, Kelly hopes that she can be a positive role model to her young fans. Clarkson said, "I've got a butt, I'M Greek - I can't help that. And I think it's good for people to see normal. I love food far too much!" |
