Her torment turned into a dangerous habit. "I developed an eating disorder, and that's kind of what I've been dealing with ever since," she said. Lovato began a lifelong struggle with bulimia and alternately, severely restricting her eating. "I was compulsively overeating when I was eight years old," she said. "So, I guess, for the past 10 years I've had a really unhealthy relationship with food." Her family helped her find professional help for her food issues.
