Kesha is opening up about her eating disorder in a new interview. The pop star describes her journey, and says she's "making the choice to be kind to [herself]," more than a year after she first checked herself into rehab to address her struggle with anorexia.
"I was singing these songs like 'We R Who We R,' and I really believed them. I wanted to be genuine. But I was sad and [I wasn’t eating]. That’s not good for your body, metabolism, or brain. I talked to my therapist, and she said, 'I think it’s time we take a moment to address this.' I called my mom one night and I told her, 'I need help.' I went to an eating-disorder specific rehab site where a nutritionist taught me that food is a positive thing for your body. I realized being healthy is the most important thing I can do for myself. Now, I’m trying to embrace the skin I’m in. It’s difficult sometimes. Every day I have to look in the mirror and make the choice to be kind to myself. This is who I am - I have to love that."
It seems that Kesha is doing much better now. And if you've seen her lately, it shows. She looks healthy, and most importantly, happy.
