I initially decided to speak about my anorexia and bulimia, partly out of a selfish motivation. I felt I had been scrutinised for my weight and thought, 'At least judge and criticise me on the facts.' There was a freedom with that. Now it's out there, and I just get on with life. I'm at peace with things.

Lucy Davis

While Jane Fonda has no shortage of knowledge to share, I was particularly moved and fascinated by her recovery from bulimia, which she battled with for over 25 years.

Amanda de Cadenet

I think her friends were worried that the bulimia might come back, about some psychological slide, and she was given breathing space to some extent by the media as much as she ever has been.

Anthony Holden

Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.

Barbara Ehrenreich

For the longest time, Indian women have been okay with being curvy. But I think the modern Indian woman needs to get toned. I don't endorse being thin. Anorexia and bulimia are a reality in India because everybody wants to be thin.

Bipasha Basu

I had a very unhealthy relationship with food that turned into bulimia.

Candace Cameron Bure

For me, the bulimia was about stuffing my emotions. So I stopped suppressing my feelings.

Cheryl James

The problem with writing a book about bulimia is that whenever you go to the washroom, people think you're throwing up.

Emma Forrest

Becoming the new feminine ideal requires just the right combination of insecurity, exercise, bulimia and surgery.

Garry Trudeau

I have something called exercise bulimia, which is where you rid of your calories by over-exercising.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler

I was my thinnest when doing 35 fashion shows a week in different countries because I didn't have time to eat. I've never bought the idea that models in fashion magazines cause readers to have anorexia and bulimia. And you can't be a model if you've got those conditions anyway, because you'll get acne and hair all over your body.

Jerry Hall

While I was never diagnosed with anorexia or bulimia at the time, I've learned that starving myself and bingeing means I had both.

Joanna Krupa

Perhaps they thought I was on a fact-finding mission, never for one moment thinking that a man of my age and build could be suffering from bulimia nervosa, but that's what the consultant said I had.

John Prescott

In high school, I had a couple girlfriends who had very extreme eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia. And in college as well. It's just heartbreaking. As someone going through it, it's heartbreaking. And as a friend who's helping a friend going through it, it's heartbreaking. It's a real, real disease.

Katie Lowes

I had bulimia for a few years. I was really sick. I don't know that person; I can't believe that was me.

Lauren Alaina

I had really bad polyps on my vocal cords, and I've had them since I was a kid, but the bulimia made it 10 times worse. They were bleeding constantly, and it was straining on my voice. And just the lack of nutrition - my vocal cords couldn't keep up because I was so unhealthy.

Lucy Davis

Anorexia and bulimia seem to be getting much more common in boys, men, and women of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds; they are also becoming more common in racial groups previously thought to be impervious to the problem.

Marya Hornbacher

My bulimia was my addiction. Hurting myself was my addiction... The music is what saved me. That's the only thing I can trust.

Nicole Scherzinger

Anorexia, you starve yourself. Bulimia, you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you're sick and then you throw up. And anorexia, you just deny yourself. It's about control.
