Celebrity Eating Disorders
Dancer, choreographer, singer and “American Idol” judge Paula Abdul told People Magazine that she had checked herself into a clinic in 1994 after a 15-year battle with bulimia.
"I'd starve myself, then binge, then purge," Abdul told People. "Whether I was sticking my head in the toilet or exercising for hours a day, I was spitting out the food — and the feelings."
Today, Abdul says her eating and exercise problems are behind her. A month-long stay at the Laureate Psychiatric Clinic in Tulsa, OK, helped give her the confidence to overcome bulimia, reports People Magazine.
