Jameela Jamil Gets Candid About Her Eating Disorder: 'I Missed My Teens & 20s'

Jameela Jamil is looking back on a difficult moment while she was dealing with an eating disorder.

The 33-year-old actress took to her Twitter to share an photo from an event 10 years ago, when she thought she was “too fat” to even attend.

“This was a sad day 10 years ago. I didn’t want to go to the event because I was convinced that I was ‘too fat’ and that I would be publicly fat shamed the next day. I was so weak, I only managed to stay for 10 mins. Eating disorders/dysmorphia are so wild. I missed my teens/20s💔,” Jameela wrote.

She also opened up about the treatment that helped her overcome her struggles.

Jameela added, “The therapy I used to help me was called EMDR, it works faster so it was much cheaper. CBT didn’t work for me personally. So if it doesn’t work for you, try EMDR. It’s free in some countries. I’m thankful to the brilliant ‘I Weigh’ community for helping my recovery. Love you. ❤️”
