With so much pressure to look good these days, it is natural for us to react without thinking. For instance, Jennifer Love Hewitt, a beautiful woman by any standards, is being criticized for having cellulite and having a fat butt. She has reacted like a strong woman by firing back but a typical woman might simply go on a crash diet and develop an eating disorder.

That is what happened to another Hollywood celebrity Jamie-Lynn Sigler. "It's hard for me to even recognize who I was," she told PEOPLE. "My reality was so warped. ... I knew I had a problem and wanted to get better, but I was not able to let go of my habit." She tells the story of a family meal at which she could not make herself eat a piece of cake because she was afraid that she would become a 400 lb woman by the time she got up next morning.

Luckily she sought help and was able to overcome her eating disorder. So was Katherine McPhee who too got professional help and is now a healthy woman. Since then she has been speaking about this common problem and has been recognized for her work by the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) for her work as an ambassador for the group.
