Anorexia and bulimia are probably more common with actors and models than people in any other profession.  Jamie Lynn Sigler, Tracey Gold, and Katharine McPhee are all actors who have come out to the public about their eating disorders and there are many more to add to that list.  Eating healthy and exercising is a solution that is easier said than done.  If you need to lose weight for a role, it is best to consult a doctor or nutritionist rather than taking a route that may be extreme and not great for your body.  Also remember, there are roles our there for all shapes and sizes!  If you watch TV or films these days you will see that not everyone is a size 2!  Don’t get discouraged by the pressures of Hollywood.  As long as you are happy and confident, that’s all at the matters.
