Then on top of it, I was dealing with people commenting on my body at a young age, starting to get photographed, and people asking you how many times you weigh yourself or comparing you to people that were thinner than you or other girls in your line of work."
"I definitely struggled for a little while there, just trying to fit a certain mold and have control over something in my life. Thankfully that was pretty short-lived, but definitely toyed with it during a time of... a lot of moving parts to my life and just trying to also form as a person."
"Because of my career path, I can't help but be like, 'I am on camera and actresses are skinny.' It was horrifying."
Hilary Duff opened up about her experience with an eating disorder during her teenage years on Jay Shetty's podcast. Despite having self-confidence growing up in the early 2000s, she faced intense pressure from tabloid culture, public commentary on her body, and comparisons to other actresses in the industry. These external pressures created insecurities that led her to struggle with controlling her body image and fitting a certain mold. She described this period as brief but significant during a formative time in her life. Major life events, including becoming a mother and establishing a stable relationship with her husband Matthew Koma, played crucial roles in her healing and recovery from these pressures.
