Zoe Kravitz On Her Eating Disorder: “I Had A Hard Time Loving Myself” - Page 2

…‘Good, I’m a normal human being.’”

“My mother’s a…,” she says, hesitating, “…beautiful woman, and I think, in some way, I felt intimidated by that sometimes.” Also: “My dad dated a lot of supermodels,” she laughs.

“Everyone sees themselves in some weird, obscure way.” And its that vision that matters.

Here are some symptoms of eating disorders:

Anorexia nervosa patients:

Maintain a weight that’s more than 15 percent lower than a normal body weight
Have an intense fear of gaining pounds
Have a distorted image of their bodies
Deny that they have an illness
Among women, stop menstruating for at least three months in a row

Bulimia nervosa patients:

Binge at least twice a week for three months
Feel as if they can’t control eating binges
Think constantly about food and their weight
Eat in secret and very quickly
Binge until there’s no food left, someone interrupts them, or their stomach is very uncomfortable
Feel guilty after the binge and may purge, drastically restrict food later, or exercise excessively
