Lady Gaga Talks About Her Bulimic Past
February 9, 2012 in Celebrity Quotes, Lady Gaga by Versus
Lady Gaga attended a Young Women’s Conference at Los Angeles’ Brentwood School a few days ago and with this occasion, she opened up about her past struggles with bulimia – from Huffington Post:
On Her Bulimic Past: “I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I’m not that confident. And maybe it’s easier for me to talk about it now because I don’t do it anymore. I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night. I used to come home and say, ‘Dad, why do you always give us this food? I need to be thin.’ And he’d say, ‘Eat your spaghetti.’ It’s really hard, But … you’ve got to talk to somebody about it.”
Weight Is Still an Issue: “Every video I’m in, every magazine cover, they stretch you’ they make you perfect. It’s not real life. I’m gonna say this about girls: The dieting wars have got to stop. Everyone just knock it off. Because at the end of the day, it’s affecting kids your age. And it’s making girls sick.”
On Bulimia’s Effects: “It made my voice bad, so I had to stop. The acid on your vocal chords — it’s very bad. But for those of you who don’t sing, you maybe don’t have that excuse until it’s too late. It’s very dangerous.”
