Celebrity Eating Disorders

Portia de Rossi

“Arrested Development” star Portia de Rossi said her decades-long battle with eating disorders was an "excruciating" experience that drove her to starve herself and, at times, eat only 300 calories a day.

"That was my diet," de Rossi told “Good Morning America” host Robin Roberts.

De Rossi hit rock bottom in early 2000 when her weight plummeted to 82 pounds. She went into the depths of her illness in her book, “Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain.”

After seeking treatment, de Rossi was eventually able to overcome her disorder.
