11 Celebrities Who Suffer From Eating Disorders

7. Jamie-Lynn Sigler

When Jamie-Lynn Sigler first landed the role of Meadow Soprano in 1997, Sigler was on the verge of suicide. The Sopranos star admits that she suffered from exercise bulimia when she was 16-years old and nearly took her own life because of the control the disease had over her. Jamie-Lynn says that at one point she was exercising for four hours before school and hardly eating. Then, when directors starting shooting the first season of the hit HBO show in 1998 and started looking for other actresses, Sigler realized she needed to gain the weight back. With the help of therapists and her family, Sigler was able to reach the weight that she had first auditioned at and directors gave her back the role. Today, Sigler is the spokeswoman for the National Eating Disorders Association.
