Big Brother's Karly talks about her battle with bulimia

Big Brother 10 housemate Karly Ashworth has spoken out about her battle with bulimia today, admitting for the first time that she suffered from the eating disorder after leaving the BB house last summer. “Before, during and after Big Brother I was fine,” she says. “I never battled with my weight and had always had been content with my figure. But after BB I would find myself always eating out in the nicest restaurants and I felt I often needed to eat as I was the one being taken out for dinner, and without wanting to be rude, I would eat the food in front of me, but was always conscious of how unhealthy what I was eating was.” Karly goes on to admit, “I would often (but not always) find I would excuse myself form the table and go to the bathroom to throw up. At the time, I remember all that was going through my head was ‘I need to stay thin’.” Karly says she got on top of her problem after just a few weeks and has been working out at the gym to stay in shape. “Only change your body for you,” she advises. “No one else. Feeling confident comes from within!” To read Karly’s blog in full, go to Female First by clicking here.

    Karly is no longer dating Kenneth Tong - she ended the relationship in December as she claims she was in a 'controlling relationship' you can follow her on her official twitter @mskarlyashworth and tweet any questions you gave directly to her.

    Shell, if she does have an eating disorder or has had one, then it's amazing that she got over it in such a short time. I hate doubting people because I think making up this kind of thing is sick tbh, but it doesn't seem believable.

    Daisy - you are a stupid ignorant person,. There is a massive difference between someone claiming they have an ED to geth there face in the magazines and claiming they are cured and someone who has weight loss issues. Shell - Don't hide! Its not something that should make you feel ashamed and like with all problems it has different levels, Don't keep everything bottled up inside, no (decent) person would ever judge you.

    If this is her disorder over after such a short period, she's one lucky lady. Methinks she's making this up.
