Jane Fonda talks about her bulimia
Actress Jane Fonda celebrated her 85th birthday in December, but as a young woman she feared she wouldn’t live past 30. The reason for this was her severe bulimia. Fonda told us about it now from US blogger Alexandra Cooper. “I started working as an actress in my 20s. I was extremely bulimic. I lived a secret life. I was very, very unhappy. I didn’t date. I hardly dated because I was unhappy and this eating disorder And then I did movies that I didn’t particularly like,” Fonda said. The pressure from the film industry and her famous family increased the disease. The eating disorder began to dominate her entire life. “It harms your looks. You end up looking tired. It becomes impossible to have a real relationship if you do it on the sly. The day becomes all about getting food and eating it, which assumes that you alone and no one knows what you’re doing.” As she approached 40, she thought, ‘If I keep going like this, I’m going to die’ and realized that something had to change.
