Felicity Huffman Battled Anorexia

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman says she battled both bulimia and anorexia from her teens into her 20s.

The bulimia evolved into anorexia. Huffman's weight dropped to 98 pounds, and her periods stopped.

With her family growing increasingly concerned, she sought the help of a therapist. At that time, she viewed herself — as she told the world in her Emmy acceptance speech — as "a chunky 22-year-old with really big pink glasses and a bad perm." (USA Today)
