Actress
Troian Bellisario said her battle with anorexia almost killed her and there was a point in her life where she was just eating 300 calories a day.
The '
Pretty Little Liars
' star said she is now ten years in recovery. "There is a part of my brain that defies logic. Once, it completely convinced me I should live off 300 calories a day, and at some point, it told me even that was too much. That part of my brain is my disease, and there was a time when it had absolute authority over me,"
Bellisario
said.
"It almost killed me, and you can see that even though I have lived in recovery for ten years now, it still finds loads of fun, insidious ways to thwart me to this day. It was a difficult journey finding my way back to health. Through hard introspection, intense medical and mental care, a supportive family, friends, and a patient and loving partner, I survived, which is rare."
"But I don't want to just survive that part of my life. I want to create in rebellion. I want to stop looking at the clocks".
