Lindsay Lohan: Bulimia Exposed

On the news tonight dealing with Lindsay Lohan, they also mentioned that she admitted to not only Bulimia, but meddling around in Cocaine experimentation.

This entry is not shedding light to the entire picture, only that she had finally admitted to an eating disorder that many had expected.

I also struggle with bulimia and I am so proud of Lindsey for admitting her problem and seeking help. Eating disorders in and of themselves are like an addiction and need to be dealt with accordingly. Good Luck to Lindsey and her family during this healing time!

I do wonder if Lindsay's equally-skinny friend, Nicole Richie, will also come out and say she has an eating disorder?

No April, Nicole just lost her "puppy fat". She doesn't have a problem, and neither does Kate Hudson. Kate will sue if you say she has a problem.

If you go to http://theskinnywebsite.com/site/ (it is a blog about celebrities and weight), you'll be disturbed at the comments (and the blog owner her/himself) saying that Hilary Duff "doesn't look too thin" or that Nicole "looks great".

I think it was pretty much inevitable that Lindsay had an eating disorder. The pressure to be thin in Hollywood is just so intense that if you don't know the right way to shape up, you go a different and seemingly easier route. Celebs like Jennifer Garner or Uma Thurman got in shape by working out and eating healthy foods, but that is a lot to handle for a lot of people. It's much "easier" for them to throw up their food or take an appetite suppressing drug like cocaine or speed. I'm glad Lindsay's getting some help now though.

Lets talk about the drugs. This girl was on the fast track to death. Bulimia and drugs, not a good combo. I always figured she was on them. I can't think of any actor or actress that has not dabbled in drugs at one time or another in their career.

Its sad that there doesn't seem to be anymore clean cut role models out there for young people. While it is good that Lindsay is seeking help and treatment, what will all of her young fans think now? "Oh Lindsay did it, so why don't I" It is a shame what these actresses have to go through just to stay in the spotlight.

linds is a friend of mine and i am so glad she finally went out and told people of her inner pain. we all knew something was wrong, but she never admitted it to me or any of our other friends. im happy shes coming out

Wow, Jan.... some of the somments on theskinnywebsite.com were really disturbing. I felt compelled to write this little rant and post it into one of their discussions:

As much as you *seemingly* condemn those you feel are slightly more gaunt than the rest of the celebrity bag-of-bones brigade, there is no getting around the fact that you are still perpetuating the thin obsessed agenda. Fixating on celebrities weight fluctuations; laudation for women who "look fabulous" after "bulking up" by putting five pounds on their 90lb frames (still leaving them grossly underweight); these things merely continue the cycle of self-loathing and regarding emaciated as fashionable. Let's praise these women when they get back to a normal, HEALTHY weight. A weight that includes menstrual cycles and is free of visable ribs and heart palpitations. And let's not constantly criticize the ladies who actally weigh three digits and look like women as opposed to pre-pubescent little boys. Bulimia might be a quick way to that Karen Carpenter body, but bile-rotted teeth and lanugo aren't too sexy, people.

daaamn i'm feisty tonite haha

You guys need to realize that the website (theskinnywebsite.com) is a humor site that is making fun of the whole stick-thin celebrity thing. The person running the site realizes that the whole thing is ridiculous, so she decided to make a site that makes fun of it all. Don't take it so seriously, people!

*k*, that is exactly how I feel. Thank you for writing that. I posted the link to "The Emaciation of Hilary Duff" when the blog owner posted that Hilary was looking perfectly normal. No she isn't!

Julie, while the purpose of the site might be humor, the commenters who are praising the stick-thin celebs aren't doing so in jest. It is a reflection of their thoughts. My commentary was equivalent to Jim's shock at the posts at the Brazilian Diet Pills topic here. It is shocking to read that. And yes, I do take it seriously, just as take all the "I'm 13 and 5'7 and 115lb and my belly is so fat! I know I'm gross, how can I lose weight?" posts here seriously.

Yeah, the obsession to be thin and emulate the celebs is getting out of control. I'm scared to see how many teens will follow in Lindsay's footsteps and "become" bulimic to copy her.

I knew from the very begining that Lindsey had an ED because there´s no way you can be that skinny in such a very short time of period, I mean, I suffered from bulimia too it´s a very complicated Ed..I am just glad that she came out because is her the one that suffers and her family..congrats Lindsey,I hope that your confession helps other celebs like u to come out and admit their problem

Julie, you have no idea. In another post just here someone said that they were 5'7" and a beginning weight of 120lb, but with "self-control" she was now 93lb. Of course it didn't take long for someone to ask for details on how she did it.

It is on the post about Biggest Loser Club: Free Trial, if someone wants to see it for themselves.

Eating disorders are serious medical conditions and require professional treatment.

Cocaine users, while they tend to loose their appetites, do not necessarily have eating disorders.

it was so so clear that she was bulimic, as someone stuggling with it at the moment i KNOW the tell tale signs, and when she showed up to red carpets with those obvious sores at the courners of her mouth there was no disputing it!
