Katie Couric Says She Struggled With Bulimia In College
"I wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that. And I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that's wrong, you're full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself," said Couric. "Whether it's one cookie or a stick of gum that isn't sugarless, that I would sometimes beat myself up for that. That is such a huge thing for people who wrestle with this." The 55-year-old devoted the program to eating disorders. Lovato, who has said she used to cut herself, said her own personal struggles were "so difficult at first." On Monday's episode of her new talk show, Katie Couric welcomed guest Demi Lovato (photos
