Stephanie Pratt Bulimic
Is Stephanie Pratt bulimic? Stephanie Pratt’s bulimic claim smells fishy. What is wrong with Stephanie Pratt’s bulimic claim? First of all, she does not look bulimic. Second, has she ever been at 100 pounds? I have never seen her that skinny on The Hills. Third, is Stephanie Pratt bulimic because she was under pressure from the producers of The Hills to be as skinny as other girls or because she has imagined that she was fat?
I think it is the latter. According to her own claim, the producers never made a comment about her weight. They never told her that she does not look good or that she looks different from other girls on The Hills. Despite this fact, she blames skinny girls and The Hills on her eating disorder issues.
She got so worked up about her weight that she was eating 5,000 calories a day, which does not make any sense. Sure, she was purging all those calories, but why would you eat so much food if you are actually trying to lose weight? Maybe she did not know how to lose weight, which explains her diet at the time, well, you cannot really call it a diet (she was drinking water with vinegar and cayenne pepper).
The bottom line on Stephanie Pratt’s bulimia She is either very confused about what it means to be fit and healthy or has an incredible ability to imagine things that are not present in an objective reality. According to Stephanie, she would prefer that people call her too skinny than too fat. But here is what she does not seem to grasp. She is not too skinny, and she is not too fat. She is not even overweight. It is all in her head. I always thought she looks great!
But what do you think – Stephanie Pratt’s bulimic claim – real or a pathetic publicity stunt? [source: Us Weekly]

binging can involve ingesting up to 5,000 calories, prior to purging. that is what bulimia means. i’ve been bulimic for many years on and off, and to a non eating disordered person it wouldn’t make sense. it’s not logical. many bulimics starve themselves and then develop an unhealthy relationship w food. they give in and eat, and binging/purging becomes a kind of release. it sounds unbelievable, but even if losing weight is the goal in the first place, it’s less and less about the food. it’s self abuse. it’s hell. i don’t know if she is bulimic or not, but unless you’ve battled an eating disorder you wouldn’t get the full extent of hell one battles. unlike drugs, you have to eat every day. bulimics have distorted views of themselves and see themselves as fat, no matter what they weigh. i don’t see how anyone would claim this kind of hell for attention.

For anybody to make the claim that Stephanie is LYING about her eating disorder on the basis that she does “look” sickly or did not adhere to some notion of a “bulimic diet” is bs. There is nothing glamorous about bulimia, and she stands nothing to gain by creating a fictitious story.

This post should be removed. Do your research before judging someone’s condition. You obviously have very little understanding of WHAT bulimia is. Read up honey, you only make yourself look stupid. Maybe you think that she said she is anorexic…that of course would be contradictory to eat 5000 calories, however it is rather commonplace for bulimics to consume that amount (or more) remember, its a BINGING and purging disorder with deeply-rooted emotions and struggles. Lay off the girl, she is brave enough to be sharing her insecurities with the world, who are you to judge?

Seriously, I’ve never seen a more ignorant post on bulimia. Many bulimics are overweight and a growing number are normal weight (ie Stephanie). Thus, obviously, there’s no way to “look” bulimic. Claiming to eat 5,000 calories and purge is exactly what bulimics do. She wasn’t “confused” on how to diet, I can’t believe you would misinterpret that. That’s like saying a cutter is confused as to how to shave. But judging from your mental health knowledge you may not know what that is either. At least google a disorder before you accuse someone of faking it.

I agree with all of the letters here. The reason she is a normal weight is because she eats 5000 calories AND THEN vomits. She is in a bind: no way you can look like a movie star AND be a secret binger of a gallon of ice cream and a complete package of cookies (and believe me, that’s what a binger will do). Hence, the self-hate and “solving” the binging problem with bulimia.

People die from eating disorders and they’re not a joke. Moreso, people with eating disorders are not confused. They’re anything but confused. They are determined, angry and unhappy with themselves, mostly because of their environment (i.e. hollywood, etc.) Thus why so many women all around the world have an eating disorder. You have NO idea and you better wish that you never have to experience bulimia. I never thought that I would make myself purge and let me tell you, it is a rude awakening. People would love to be healthy and fit but when you do not have time to over-exercise (which is a form of bulimia) or even do moderate exercise you become depressed and still want to lose the weight. You can only starve for so long and then the idea counteracts into overeating.

Exactly how do you “look bulimic”? Anyone can suffer from it, and as far as the “has she ever weight 100 pounds comment” people with bulimia are actually usually of average weight or even a little bit on the heavier side. Lastly, People can certainly be pressured into feeling like they need to be skinny, especially if you’re a celebrity, and especially if you’re on some shallow t.v. show like the hills. do some research next time.
