Chantelle Houghton: Bulimia caused my periods to stop

Glamour model suffered for 12 months

Sunday, 26 July 2009

Chantelle Houghton has opened up about her battle with bulimia.

The glamour model once shrunk to a size 6 by depriving herself of food and drinking over 12 litres of water a day.

‘I was making myself sick a lot,’ says Chantelle, 25. ‘I was obsessed from the minute I woke up in the morning until the minute I went to bed.

‘I was constantly watching what I was eating. Food was always on my mind, all the time. I was so skinny back then, my periods even stopped for a whole year.’

Fortunately, Chantelle has learned to deal with her illness and is now a healthy size 10.

‘It’s a constant battle with my weight, and I’ll always have an issue with it,’ she says.  ‘I don’t think anyone ever is [happy with their body], but I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.’
