Justine Bateman
The former Family Ties star made a
lot of rules for herself:
"I can have one more cookie if I go
throw it all up later.Or
I can have this now if I skip lunch
later," she said in the
Nov. 9 edition of the U.S. TV Guide.
"I'm talking mainly about
doing stuff like not eating when I'm
hungry. Or, eating more
than I really want to and then trying
to get rid of it." Bateman said she
was sure people knew. "In fact,
when they'd say, 'You look
anorexic,' I'd take it as a
compliment." In September 1996,
Bateman went public for the first
time with the revelation that she
had suffered from bouts of
anorexia, bulimia and compulsive
overeating while making ''Family
Ties.''

lasted for 14 long years (from 1984 to 1990:) "I would

JAMIE-LYNN SIGLER
In her teen years,she took
acting classes,dancing and
singing lessons, worked in
local theater. Despite her
hectic schedule,she managed
to maintain a straight-A
average.Later,she auditioned for a part on "The Sopranos"
and she got a role on the show. And at the same time,
Jamie-Lynn was going through her first heartbreak.
That's when she decided to go on a diet to lose 5 pounds. But
the "5 pounds" turned into 30: things spiraled out of control.It
became an obsession that started taking over her life. She
did not care about school or her friends anymore.Only two
things interested her: exercising and making menus for
herself. In 1998, she told her parents about her problem: she
was suffer-ing from exercise bulimia and weighed 90 pounds.
She was so emaciated, producers thought of recasting her
part.
She decided to go public about her battle. Now, weighing a
healthy 125 pounds,Sigler regularly discusses her issues with
food as a representative for the National Eating Disorders
Association. She also has written a book called "Wise Girl."
