Portia de Rossi: Anorexia Was My First Love

Portia de Rossi signs copies of her new book Unbearable Lightness at Borders Books & Music on Tuesday (December 7) in New York City.

The 37-year-old actress says in her book, “I didn’t decide to become anorexic. It snuck up on me disguised as a healthy diet, a professional attitude. Being as thin as possible was a way to make the job of being an actress easier…”

Portia captures the complex emotional truth of what it is like when food, weight, and body image take priority over every other human impulse or action. It is crucial book for all those who might sometimes feel at war with themselves or their bodies.
