Gretchen Rossi – Real Housewife – Struggled With Bulimia
Gretchen Rossi, of The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed to In Touch that she’s suffered from body image problems and bulimia for many years.
For her the trouble started in high school, and got worse in college.
When asked where her problems with food began, Gretchen Rossi responded: “I was a lot heavier back in high school and in college. I wasn’t even fat, I was only 130 pounds. But compared with what I look like now at 115 pounds, I thought I looked fat.”
When asked if she was hard on herself as a teenager, Rossi responded in detail. “I had a lot of body issues. I was really affected by magazines and what I was seeing on TV. In high school, I had a thought I should throw up my food – eat everything I wanted and not gain a pound. So that’s what I started doing. After a while, I was doing it a lot and I became bulimic.
Ironically enough, Gretchen Rossi has overcome with her issues with bulimia and is well-known for her in-shape body.
