Kate Beckinsale's eating disorder struggle

Kate Beckinsale has admitted she suffered from anorexia when she was younger, but says she has fully recovered. The Underworld star's weight dropped to a scary 70 pounds, and she went through four years of five-day-a-week therapy to overcome the illness. "[I wish] I had had a sensible magazine article to have read at the time from someone who was actually intelligent," the actress said. "I never really talked about that, actually. [But] when I was around 22 or 23, I decided I'd mention it because I decided I was one of the few people I knew who had that problem who didn't remain a freak about it. It's really more about fixing up your life instead of eating or not eating." Beckinsale was recently voted as "Perfectly Toned" by readers of InStyle magazine.
