As her star climbed, Christina became so obsessed with being thin that she 'wanted my bones to be sticking out' and subsisted on 'five almonds in a day' after going on Weight Watchers.
Christina Applegate has heartbreakingly revealed that she was anorexic during her rise to fame as a teen actress on Married... With Children.
She 'never discussed' her struggle with anorexia in public before this week, when she shared her story on her podcast MeSsy. In recent years, Christina has battled a new series of health problems related to multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 2021 after what she has described as 'six or seven years' of symptoms.
Christina said: 'And the reason was I finally had an eating disorder. Like, that was the reason. I would eat five almonds in a day, and if I had six I would cry and I wouldn't wanna leave the house, and that stuck with me for years and years and years.'

Once, when she was trying on a size-zero outfit at Fred Segal, she noticed 'a little sliver of my skin was hanging over the side.'
