Alanis Morissette Admits To Eating Disorder
May 21, 2008 AT 08:13 am
Thank goodness I am not in a business where people are TELLING me to lose weight. I mean, CAN YOU IMAGINE?! That is way too much for anyone to handle. Alanis Morissette recently admitted that she struggled with an eating disorder because a record executive once told her she was getting too fat.
"(He) suggested I was getting too fat, saying, ‘You need to go on a diet.’ My response was, ‘But I’m a singer.’ He said, ‘Yes, well, you need to get small again.’ That started a whole cycle. Two days later I was sticking fingers down my throat."
Thankfully, Alanis has grown out of that terrible stage and is a much healthier person because of it.

Sad. And I bet you she wasn't big to begin with. Size 6-8, maybe? And then they tell you you're too fat. Crazy.
She was NEVER fat! By regular standards, that is. According to Hollywood and the music industry, a size 6 or 8 is huge compared to a 0 or 2. Pretty sickening.
Sickening indeed!
She is so talented and she's always looked great - sad to hear they wanted to make a cookie cutter image out of her.
Actually, if you pay attention to her lyrics she's been quite open about her body image issues/ eating disorder for years. She's been an inspiration for me and played a large part of my own recovery. The songs on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie really highlight what I'm talking about. Read over the lyrics from "Thank I would be Good" and "Would not come" to see what I'm talking about. She's a wonderful role model and artist for sharing herself the way she does.
I meant to say "That I would be good" not thank.
Does she have a grooming disorder, too?
She needs to go back on a diet 'cause she's looking pretty chubbs lately.
she annoced at one concert she is suffering for depression, it can cause weight gain
I think Alanis is awesome! She is a bit plump right now, but she still sounds great, and still has the incredible smile of hers.
I'd do her anyways
Alanis is an extremely talented artist. Her lyrics are deep and very meaningful. Her music has helped me through alot of hard times. I think people need to back off and find something to worry about other than her weight. You ignorant people need to take a look in the mirror, you're the ones who need the adjustments, not Alanis. She's 'Perfect' just the way she is.
