Reality TV star Kristin Cavallari recently revealed that she felt ‘fat’ in her The Hills days (?!?)… from Daily Mail:

‘I remember filming The Hills and I saw a photo of myself in a bikini and thought I looked really fat, and I went on a crazy diet,’ she told People magazine. ‘It’s hard when people judge you.’

Now at 5’3 1/2″, the reality star weighs a lean 109lbs, the result of several work-out sessions with her trainer.

‘I worked out with my trainer three times a week then did cardio on the treadmill for 40 mins. But the biggest thing for me was cutting out alcohol; when I’m hungover, I eat whatever I want,’ she said.

‘When I first started dating Jay I gained about 8lbs. And it was like ‘I’ve got to get back to the gym. I can’t eat like a 6’4″ guy!’ she said.

And when Kristin does slip her toned and tanned body into a bikini, she says she will always select the skimpy kind.

‘I automatically go to string bikinis. I really have no shape, and it gives me a bit of a butt,’ she said.

Fergie on her age: “I’m definitely young at heart, and I always will be, I’m just trying to age gracefully.”

On her body: “I think people think that I’m pregnant sometimes because my weight fluctuates. But I have a meal-delivery service; Diet Designs. They’re amazing – they’ll have butter lettuce and avocado and pink grapefruit. They do butternut-squash enchiladas, which are really good. I also get these pressed juices delivered to my house, so I get all these different and wonderful vegetables. My problem is my discipline. I see a Jack in the Box or a Del Taco, and I will impulsively want it. I’m a work in progress in that area … I gain and lose weight everywhere from the thighs up.”

On her looks: “I’ve learned to love my nose because it’s unique. It’s interesting, and it just makes me a little different.”

… says Fergie in Allure Magazine.

18 year-old actress Demi Lovato, who has struggled with an eating disorder recently, decided to post a bikini picture of herself on Twitter. But unlike other celebs, Demi didn’t just mean to show off her bikini body – she also wrote a personal message under the shot:

‘I’ve been working so hard to get healthy and fit. I can’t believe I’m about to do this but I’m so excited.. Here’s my bikini time body! I never thought I’d ever feel confident enough to ever to that. I’m excited how far I’ve come since being completely ashamed of my body. I want any girl/guy out there who struggles with body image or confidence to know that it IS possible to find peace with yourself.’

What do you think of Demi’s initiative?

A few days ago, we listened to 18 year-old Demi’s touching story on her eating disorder – see the highly liked post here! Today, Demi is back with more information about the reasons that caused her ed problems (via MTV):

“I’ve spoken openly about being bullied throughout the past few years, but one thing that I’ve never been able to feel comfortable talking about was the effects that it had on my life afterwards. I literally didn’t know why they were being so mean to me. And when I would ask them why, they would just say, ‘Well, you’re fat.’

“I developed an eating disorder, and that’s kind of what I’ve been dealing with ever since. I was compulsively overeating when I was 8 years old. So, I guess, for the past 10 years, I’ve had a really unhealthy relationship with food.”

… says Demi.

Lily Allen recently opened up about the struggles she’s had with food – here is her story:

“I used to vomit after meals. It’s not something I’m proud of. But, I tell you what, a lot of people came up to me telling me how great I looked and I’d be on the cover of every magazine. I thought I looked good and it was great to be able to try on clothes and feel a million dollars. But I wasn’t happy, I really wasn’t. I would love to be the skinniest person in the world but I can’t do that without being unhappy — I like food.

People who are famous and successful and live in this mad world tend to die really early, or kill themselves or die in a drugs overdose. I’d rather not so I figure I will go and eat. My idea of hell would be doing this in 25 years’ time. I don’t want to be like Madonna — look at her, she’s mental. No offense but that is not what drives me. I want to get married and have kids and make sandwiches cutting the crusts off.”

… says Lily.
