Portia de Rossi Brings the Quotes of the Day
August 27, 2011 in Celebrity Quotes by Versus

On how her eating disorder manifested:
My Trainer set my calorie intake for optimum weight loss at 1,400 calories a day. Without telling her, I reset it to 1,000. Within weeks, my weight fell from 130lb (9st 4lb) to 120lb (8st 8lb), then 115lb (8st 3lb). But I still saw bulging thighs in the mirror. I dropped to 800 calories a day and fine-tuned my work-out. Every morning I ran for 45 minutes on the treadmill. I followed that with exactly 105 sit-ups – I wanted to do 100, but the five extra sit-ups allowed for some sloppy ones. If I had time, I would also do leg lifts: 105 with each leg.
Around my treadmill at home I taped cards down the length of the wall: 111,110, 109, 108, 107, 106, 105. Each time I lost a pound I removed the relevant card. It was getting more difficult to lose weight as I got thinner, so I needed all the motivation I could muster.
… says Portia.
