Did Kelly Clarkson Battle Bulimia?

kelly clarkson

American Idol’s first lady, Kelly Clarkson, has told Cosmo Girl (for the upcoming August 2007 edition) that she struggled with bulimia in high school and that it was triggered by missing out on a role in a school musical.

According to reports, Kelly told Cosmo Girl the following: “I thought if I come back and I’m cuter and thinner… then I’ll get the role. I became bulimic for the next six months. One of my guy friends caught on to it, and I just felt so ashamed and embarrassed.” How did she overcome it? Kelly says that she “literally went cold turkey and snapped out of it.”

I don’t know if it’s healthy to go it alone without help but if she feels it worked, more power to her!

    O, now I see.Poor Kelly, thats why on the last show she looked like she could care less about how fat she was.. All I can say to Kelly, is, its better to be healty and fat, then to be skinny and sick.
    God bless her
