Kristin Cavallari made headlines earlier this year for bravely opening up about her mental health battles back in her 20s. The Laguna Beach alum, who is now a successful entrepreneur and podcast host, spoke out about her restrictive eating patterns in June, saying that while it wasn’t a full-blown eating disorder, there was definitely a “disordered” aspect. Speaking on her Let’s Get Honest podcast, Kristin said: “I would guilt myself all day every day, and it was such a horrible way to live,” also revealing a repetitive diet full of chicken and salad.
Kristin Cavallari Reveals Disordered Eating Battle
“I was never starving myself. I was never throwing up. But there’s a spectrum, and I was definitely on some sort of spectrum,” Kristin stated, adding that the issue of disordered eating being on a spectrum is, in itself, an issue. “Which, by the way, I think is really common for women, and that’s because of our society,” the mom of three continued.
‘Obsessed With Food’ And ‘My Weight’
In her candid reveal, Kristin also shared: “I was obsessed with food. I was obsessed with my weight,” she continued. “I would guilt myself all day every day, and it was such a horrible way to live.” The jewelry designer, who now runs her Uncommon Beauty brand as an offshoot of her best-selling Uncommon James line, told her listeners that her diet was super “bland” and that she was “hyper aware” of everything she ate.
Cavallari further confirmed that she’d go out drinking on the weekend, which led to a toxic cycle of binge eating before returning to her restrictive diet. “So I guess that is an eating disorder. I’m not trying to minimize it… This is sort of the first time that I’m like, ‘maybe it really was,'” she added.
Now, It’s All About ‘Freedom’
Reflecting on how things were versus how they are now, Kristin Cavallari confirmed that she’s all about “freedom” now, stating: “I think you can eat everything you want as long as it’s really clean and good quality.”
In 2020, the former MTV star spoke out about what she feeds her kids, stating that everything in her kitchen is organic. Kristin and her family eat grass-fed butter and bacon, plus mac and cheese made with whole wheat pasta. Cavallari is not alone when it comes to celebrities revealing their disordered eating/eating disorder pasts.
