Alanis Morissette said that she battled with Anorexia as a teenager as she
was convinced that she wasn't good enough.
She says: "As a young girl, I felt demeaned, and that
hurt me. I made that to mean that I was bad and terrible. There was a lot of
focus on what the external was. I struggled with eating disorders all
through my teen years… Some of it was just because of magazines and society
and messages and family and school and everything."
