Notable anorectics
Jessica Alba, has been quoted as saying, "A lot of girls have eating disorders and I did too. I got too thin. Now, I am concentrating on being normal."
Fiona Apple, has been quoted saying, "I definitely had an eating disorder. What was really frustrating for me was that everyone thought I was anorexic, and I wasn't. I was really depressed and self-loathing. For me, it wasn't about being thin, it was about getting rid of the bait attached to my body. A lot of it came from the self-loathing that came from being raped at the point of developing my voluptuousness. I just thought that if you had a body and if you had anything on you that would be grabbed, it would be grabbed. So I did purposely get rid of it."
