Katie, 55, told here TV aud, “I wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that.
And I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that’s wrong, you’re full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself, whether it’s one cookie or a stick of gum that isn’t sugarless, that I would sometimes beat myself up for that.
“How do you have a healthy relationship with food, and say, “You know what, I can have one cookie and it’s OK?” That is such a huge thing for people who wrestle with this.”
Couric, 55, suffered from bulimia when she was between the ages of 18 and 24, while attending the University of Virginia, and when she first began her news career at the ABC news desk in Washington, D.C.
