'I've finally recovered.' 🤍 Thank you for sharing your story, jennettemccurdy.
McCurdy was only 8 years old when she landed her first acting gig — an appearance on— and just a few years later, at age 11, her mother introduced her to disordered eating." My mom said she could teach me calorie counting and we could be a team, but that I had to keep it secret," said McCurdy, who at the time viewed the"secret" as a potential bonding opportunity.
McCurdy said she was restricting her calories and struggling with anorexia around the time when she was cast as rebellious Sam onin 2007."Ironically, my character's trademark is that she loves food," McCurdy said."I'd have scenes where I was supposed to be eating and they'd have a spit bucket. But I'd have terror that there would still be calories left in my body.
A few alarming instances stand out in McCurdy's road to recovery: one was when she lost a tooth after its enamel was eroded by the process of purging, and the other was when she"passed out" on the floor of costar Miranda Cosgrove's bathroom."That terrifies me because I could have died, choking on my own vomit," she said.
McCurdy ultimately realized that she"needed better tools" to stop the cycle of"destroying herself," and found help through. It's now been years since she binged, purged, or restricted her calories."I feel very deeply and very strongly about saying I've finally recovered," she said."I was a mess for a long time, but I no longer think about food in an obsessive way. And I once didn't believe that was ever possible.
