Lily Collins recently marked Eating Disorder Awareness Week by sharing her personal journey.
In a since-expired Instagram Story, the "Emily in Paris" star discussed her history with an eating disorder. Collins advocated for increased awareness and understanding, stating her belief that individuals should not endure such struggles in silence or shame. Her advocacy aligns with her role in the 2017 film "To The Bone," where she portrayed a woman undergoing treatment for anorexia.
Collins specifically recognized the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) for its critical, lifesaving work. She expressed that publicly sharing her experiences has been beneficial not only for her own recovery but also for connecting with others who have faced similar challenges. She emphasized that while recovery varies for each person and is a continuous process, resources like NEDA and films like "To The Bone" foster a sense of community and reduce feelings of isolation.
