London, Aug 25 (PTI) Actress Naya Rivera has revealed she suffered from anorexia as a teenager.
The "Glee" star said she "avoided food at all costs" when her acting career slowed down and her parents split up and subsequently got back together again, reported Female First.
Writing in her memoir "Sorry Not Sorry", she shared, "By the time I was a sophomore, I started feeling that what had begun as a game had maybe gone too far. I just avoided food at all costs. If my mom had packed a lunch for me, I'd either trash it or find some excuse to give it away."
The 29-year-old star said she didn't realise it was such a big issue for her until she came to write about it.
"I was so young and it just seemed to be the norm.
Everyone was going through similar stuff. I had no way of knowing if I was going through it worse. I was juggling my feelings and it makes me sad that there are girls still going through that 15 years after I went through it.
