Judy Garland Quotes

I genuinely have no eating problem. I eat so much food. I think there's a lot of girls who are similar to me.

I don't understand anorexia; I'm too greedy to ever not eat... I just can't do it.

I realized I was an anorexic, a bulimic, and a compulsive overeater.

I've had a love-hate 'relationship with food for most of my life.

I was never diagnosed with an eating disorder but I definitely had a difficult relationship with food.

For years I was an undiagnosed anorexic, suffering from a little-known variant of the disease, where, freakishly, the appetite turns in on itself and demands more and more food, forcing the sufferer to gain several stones in weight and wear men's V-necked pullovers. My condition has stabilised now, but I can never stray too far from cocoa-based products and I keep a small cracknel-type candy in my brassiere at all times. Fortunately, I wear a 'D' cup so there is plenty of room for sweetmeats.

I finally understood that by being on a perpetual diet, I had practiced a "disordered" form of eating my whole life. I restricted when I was hungry and in need of nutrition and binged when I was so grotesquely full I couldn't be comfortable in any position by lying down. Diets that tell people what to eat or when to eat are the practices inbetween. And dieting, I discovered, was another form of disordered eating, just as anorexia and bulimia similarly disrupt the natural order of eating.

I couldn't be anorexic because I like food too much, and I couldn't be bulimic because I hate throwing up too much.

I wasn't strong enough to have an eating disorder. I tried to go anorexic for a good three hours. I ate ice and celery, but that's not even anorexic. And I quit. I was like, 'Ma, can you make me a sandwich? Like, immediately.'

I was compulsively overeating when I was eight years old.

I'm, like, a compulsive eater. I'm going to be so fat when I'm older, it's ridiculous.

As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.

Here's how it is: I feel guilty about every single bite of food that goes into my mouth.

Because you're fat, you feel that everybody's watching every bite you take. So, you closet-eat, and you think because nobody sees you eating, then you're not eating. You know, if you're eating a Big Mac in a closed car, can anybody hear you nosh? If I ate only what people saw me eat, I would've probably been about 170 pounds.

I struggle because I love food and sometimes I can't stop eating.

Oh, I am such a little piggy. Everyone is always mad at me because I eat so much. They're like, 'How are you so skinny?' I eat more than my husband!

I had a very unhealthy relationship with food that turned into bulimia.

I have had struggles with some eating disorders, just eating issues.

I realized that I had an eating disorder in which I controlled myself to a point that I would not let myself enjoy what I wanted to eat or eat what I needed to eat, all to stay a certain size.

Binge eating is another eating disorder that people really don't realize is a problem.

Anorexia, you starve yourself. Bulimia, you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you're sick and then you throw up. And anorexia, you just deny yourself. It's about control.

Compulsive eating is an emotional problem, and we use an emotional approach to its solution.

My eating habits are the only behaviour of mine that are still manic. I can't walk by a restaurant, a bakery, an ice-cream store or a candy store without making a purchase; the amount of calories I take in today are at least five times as many as I took before starting on all of this medication.

I was a food junkie.

You know how you feel when you get full? Well, I don't get full. I can eat a lot. Mike and I were in Italy for 10 days, and I put on 8 pounds. So in real life, I have to make sure I'm not eating just to eat.
